Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
CRONE wasn’t the worst opening guess, but 144 remaining possible solutions wasn’t ideal. PLAIT only cut that down to 19. While I was sad that MOLDY wasn’t the Wordle, it did cut out all the remaining options but one: ODDLY for the win. Huzzah!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The adverb oddly is simply odd + -ly. Odd entered English in the mid-16th century, borrowed from Old Norse oddi “point, angle” (via a sense of “single, leftover”), which soon took on “uneven, strange.” The -ly suffix is from Old English -lic (Proto-Germanic *-lika), used to form adverbs from adjectives.
