Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
SPADE got things off to a pretty good start with just 43 words remaining. I opted for all new letters with BROIL but this turned up no new boxes. With six words left, I guessed DAUNT which slashed that number down to just one: DATUM for the win! Tricky word . . . .

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word datum comes directly from Latin datum, which means “something given” (it’s the neuter of datus, the past participle of dare, “to give”). In Medieval and Neo-Latin, datum was used in scholarly writings to refer to a piece of information or a premise. English borrowed it in the 17th–18th century in the sense of “an item of information,” later becoming established in scientific and technical contexts as the singular of data.
