Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
TRAIN was a good opening guess, leaving me with two yellow boxes and just 78 remaining solutions. HEIST slashed that down to three: JOIST, FOIST and MOIST. I’m pretty sure we’ve had MOIST before, so I just picked the more likely of the remaining two. Lucky for me, FOIST was the Wordle!
Competitive Wordle Score

Once again, I beat the Bot, snagging 1 point for that and another for guessing in three. The Bot loses a point for losing to me and gets 0 for guessing in four. Our July totals narrow again:
Erik: 2 points
Wordle Bot: 6 points

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “undid” is the past tense of “undo,” which comes from Old English “undōn,” meaning to reverse, annul, or open. It combines the prefix “un-” (meaning reversal or opposite) with “do” (from Old English “dōn”, to perform or make). So “undid” literally means reversed what was done.
