In any case, it is a very busy weekend for me

Wordle Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot. right here.

Well, this hurts. That’s life. SHAME was pretty shameful, with 470 solutions left and a measly yellow box. I’m really not sure why I guessed ELDER next, other than I played some Elden Ring . . . but it didn’t do me much good, as I was left with 29 words and two yellow boxes. BOINK was my attempt to try all the new letters (on hint 3!) and only got me 1 yellow box. At this point I came up with two words, and since I prefer the color GREEN to most others, I made a bad choice. RERUN was the Wordle. On hint 5.

Competitive Wordle Score

I lose 1 point for getting into five and another point for losing to the bot. -2 points and on a Friday with 2 XP that’s -4! Oh, humanity! Oh, woe is me!

How to play competitive Wordle

  • If you get a 1, guessing is worth 3 points, if you get a 2, guessing is worth 2 points, if you get a 3, guessing is worth 1 point, if you get a 4, guessing is worth 0 points, if you get a 5, guessing is worth -1 point, if you get a 6, guessing is worth -2 points and missing the Wordle is worth -3 points.
  • If you beat your opponent, you get 1 point. If you draw, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add these points together to get your score. Keep a daily score or just play for a new score every day.
  • On Fridays you get 2XP, which means you double your points – positive or negative.
  • You can keep a running record or just play day by day. Have fun!

Today’s Wordle etymology

The word “Repetition” consists of two components: the prefix “Re-“which means “again”, and the verb “run”which means “to show” or “to perform”. The combination literally means “to run again” and refers to something being broadcast or performed a second time.

The term “rerun” became commonly associated with television in the 1950s and 1960s, when networks began showing repeats of previously aired television shows, usually out of season or to fill airtime. The word can also be used more generally to describe the repetition of an event or action.
