How To Solve Today’s Wordle

The weekend has come and the weekend has gone, as they tend to do, and here we are to enjoy yet another Monday. The wheel of time spins on, and the earth on its axis, round and round the sun, hurtling through space. And we have a Wordle to solve on this fine day in August. Let’s solve it!


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.


SPATE is normally a pretty good opening guess, but today it left me with all grey boxes and 375 remaining words. Thankfully, CHOIR slashed that down to just four. Unfortunately, my next guess was not the 1 in 4 it needed to be. LURID, however, did leave me with only one word: RIGID for the win!

Competitive Wordle Score

The Bot and I each get a whopping 0 points today for guessing in four and tying one another. Our August totals remain:

Erik: -2 points

Wordle Bot: 1 points


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.
  • Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points—positive or negative.
  • You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy!

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word “rigid” comes from Latin “rigidus”, meaning “stiff” or “hard,” which in turn derives from “rigēre”, meaning “to be stiff or to be fixed.” It entered English in the late 14th century, initially referring to physical stiffness, and later expanded to describe strictness or inflexibility in rules, behavior, or attitudes.
