Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
This one just didn’t shake out well for me. PLATE left me with a whopping 334 words and just one yellow ‘E’ and CHOIR, which was all new letters, only cut that down to 20. I chose OWNER because several of the words I came up with at this point started with ‘O’ and I was clearly on the right track. But with three words left, it was something of a crapshoot. I chose ORDER because OFFER would have potentially left me with ODDER as a remaining option if it hadn’t been correct. Sadly, OFFER was the Wordle.
Competitive Wordle Score

I’m a little less bummed out about guessing in five since that actually means I tied the Bot today (and means the Bot guessed in five two days running!). We each lose 1 point, bringing our June totals down to:
Erik: 16 points
Wordle Bot: 9 points
