Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
CLAIM was a decent opening guess, leaving me with 109 remaining solutions and one yellow ‘M’. I tried moving that ‘M’ with SMORE (my older teens went camping and made “savory s’mores” which helped me think of this second guess) and that cut my remaining options to just one: STUMPfor
Competitive Wordle Score
Today’s Wordle Bot
I guess the Wordle Bot was a little stumped today. Its four tries means it lost to me. I get 1 point for guessing in three, 1 for beating the Bot and the Bot gets 0 for four guesses and -1 for losing to me. Our June totals inch apart:
Erik: 20 points
Wordle Bot: 10 points
In order for the Bot to come back it would have to win pretty much every single Wordle through the end of June and I’d have to lose points each time also. I’m feeling confident, dearest Wordlers.
How To Play Competitive Wordle
- 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.

- You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy!
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “stump” comes from Middle English stumpe, likely of Germanic origin. It is related to Middle Low German stump and Old Norse stumpi, meaning a blunt or shortened part. Originally, it referred to a part of something cut off or broken, like the base of a tree left after felling. The verb sense (to stump or baffle someone) developed later, likely from the idea of being stopped short or blocked.
