Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
TRIBE was a good opener today, leaving me with just 18 remaining words and a green and yellow box. I thought about going with all new letters for my second guess but couldn’t come up with anything I loved, so I went with a word that I hoped would at least cut out the vast majority of remaining solutions. BROAD did just that, leaving me with just one possible answer: BRAND for the win! Huzzah!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word brand comes from Old English brand (or brond), meaning “fire, flame, or burning torch,” from the verb brennan (“to burn”). It later came to mean a burning piece of wood or a mark made by burning (as in branding livestock). Over time, it evolved to mean a distinctive mark or trademark, especially one identifying a product.
