Wordle Analysis
I used the Wordle Bot for an analysis of my guessing game. Feel free to check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I started with the word DRAIN, and hit the jackpot! Four letters remained, and I'd already guessed three, though two were yellow. I was left with three options: DIRT, DIRGE, and DIRK. With a final educated guess, DIRGE was the winning solution!
Competitive Wordle Scores:
I scored 1 point for guessing in three and another point for defeating the Bot. That's 2 x 2 for 2XP Friday, totaling 4 points. The Bot received 0 points for guessing in four, and -1 point for losing to me. Which means the Wordle total is as follows:
Erik: 9 points
Wordle Bot: 10 points
The Bot still leads, but not by much! Two weeks are left in the game, and it could go either way! I live for a good rivalry.
Competitive Wordle Rules:
- Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points.
- Guessing in 2 is worth 2 points.
- Guessing in 3 is worth 1 points.
- Guessing in 4 is worth 0 points.
- Guessing in 5 is -1 points.
- Guessing in 6 is -2 points.
- Missing the Wordle is -3 points.
- Winning gives you 1 point.
- Tie results in 0 points.

Today's Wordle Etymology:
The word dirge originated from the Latin dirige meaning "direct" or "guide." It comes from the opening line of the Latin antiphon Dirige, Domine, Deus meus, in conspectu tuo viam meam ("Direct, O Lord, my God, my way in thy sight"), used in the Office for the Dead in medieval Christian liturgy. Over time, it became a funeral song or lament.
