Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Ah, finally, finally, finally a good Wordle day for your humble narrator. It’s been a hot minute. I guessed TIRES because I’d just made an appointment to go get new ones. My Toyota 4Runner needs to have its wheels rotated, but the tread on my old tires is too worn down and I need to replace them first. So I set that up and then did the Wordle and guessed pretty much the second luckiest word possible, with only one possible solution left: TERSE for the win. Huzzah!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 2 points for guessing in two and 1 point for beating the Bot, who took three tries. 3 points for me! I’m the king of the Wordle!
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.
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “terse” comes from the Latin word “tersus,” which is the past participle of “tergere,” meaning “to wipe, to polish.” This Latin root evolved to imply something that is clean, concise, and polished in expression. The sense of “tersus” as “wiped, clean” shifted in English to mean “neatly concise,” which is how we use the word “terse” today. The transition from “clean” to “concise” reflects the idea of removing unnecessary elements to leave a clear, direct expression.
