Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
TREAD left me with 146 words and just one yellow box, so that could have been better. HOIST (which the Wordle Bot told me afterwards was exactly the word it would have picked) slashed that number to 7, but I still had just two yellow boxes. I thought MINTY sounded nice, so I went with that. Unfortunately, it was not a great guess, leaving me with four options to choose from. I guessed WITTY and lucky for me, that was the Wordle!
Competitive Wordle Score
Today’s Wordle Bot
The Bot and I get 0 points today for guessing in four and tying one another. That leaves our June totals at:
Erik: 20 points
Wordle Bot: 10 points
At this point, the Wordle Bot cannot win. I could fail to guess the Wordle (-3 points) and it could guess on its first try (+3 points) and our totals would be 17 to 13. Huzzah! I am the king of the Wordle!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word witty comes from Old English wittig, meaning “wise” or “intelligent,” derived from wit, which originally meant “knowledge” or “understanding.” Wit traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root *weyd-, meaning “to see” or “to know.” By the 16th century, witty evolved to mean clever or quick with words, especially in a humorous way.
