How To Solve Today’s Wordle
Tuesday is here and we have a Wordle to solve. In unrelated news, I watched the new Netflix movie Happy Gilmore 2, the sequel to the Adam Sandler golf-comedy classic, and made a video review that you can watch right here if you’re interested. I’ve been making more videos lately. I once even toyed with the idea of doing Wordle guides on my YouTube channel but decided against it. In any case, it’s Wordle time!
How To Play Wordle
Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:
- Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.
- Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
- Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.
Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
It’s still funny to me that SPAIN works for a Wordle guess since most proper nouns do not. It wasn’t a very good opener today, leaving me with 404 remaining solutions. CHORE was very lucky, however, slashing that number down to just one: OMEGA for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “omega” comes from Greek: ō mega (ὦ μέγα), meaning “great O” — with ō (ὦ) being the long “o” sound and mega (μέγα) meaning “great.” It was used to distinguish it from omicron (ο μικρόν), meaning “small o.” In the Greek alphabet, omega (Ω, ω) is the last letter, symbolizing the end or finality.
