Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
AWOKE is a rare choice for me as an opening guess. I almost never pick words with three vowels, but I thought I’d try it today. Alas, 182 words remained and only one letter landed in a green box. GUTSY was all new letters, but only a yellow ‘T’ emerged from that, and 11 options remained. Thankfully, TRIBE slashed that down to just one: ELITE for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score

I get 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot. The Bot gets 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating me. This brings us to a June total of:
Erik: 15 points
Wordle Bot: 12 points

- Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points.
- If you beat your opponent you get 1 point. If you tie, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add it up to get your score. Keep a daily running score or just play for a new score each day.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “elite” comes from the French word élite, meaning “selection” or “choice.” It derives from the Latin verb eligere, meaning “to choose” (from e- “out” + legere “to pick, read”).
It originally referred to the chosen or best part of a group, especially in military or social contexts.
