The Solution:**
Wordle Breakdown
Need help analyzing your Wordle game? Check out Wordle Bot to get a summary of your progress. My pick for first guess, SHIRE, was pretty good but left me with limited options. Going with the three most common remaining consonants (B, P, and T), I guessed BEPAT. That wasn't the answer, but it got me closer with only a single letter missing – TRIPE. I should have tried that first.
Wordle Scorecard
Today, both the Bot and I scored a total of 2 points (1 point for guessing in three, and nothing for tying). As it's 2XP Friday, our scores double, resulting in:
Erik: 22 points

Today's Wordle Origin
The word tripe has an intriguing history. Originating from Old French, its meaning is "guts" or "entrails." Linguists speculate that its roots stem from a Vulgar Latin source. It emerged in English in the 14th century and referred to the edible cow stomach lining. By the 18th century, "tripe" took on a slang meaning for "nonsense."
