We’re very nearly at Wordle #1400, though that leaves us with just under 1,000 more five-letter words to go through before we run out. What then? I keep hoping Wordle will evolve into a 6-letter game, which would be just a tiny bit more challenging.

Wordle Analysis

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

BLADE was actually a pretty decent opening guess, leaving me with two yellow boxes and just 112 possible solutions. AGENT cut that down to four, and popped the yellow ‘A’ into green. I debated between AGENT, ANNEX and APNEA (one I didn’t think of, despite living in an area filled with them, was ASPEN). I chose ASHEN and got lucky.

Competitive Wordle Score

Just like yesterday, I get 1 point for guessing in three and zero for tying the Bot, which is exactly what the Bot also gets. Our April totals are now:

Erik: 6 points

Wordle Bot: 10 points

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.
• Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points—positive or negative.
• You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy!

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word "ashen" comes from the Old English "?sce" meaning ash tree or ash (the residue of fire), combined with the adjectival suffix "-en", which means made of or resembling. So, "ashen" originally meant made of ash or resembling ash, especially in color—pale gray.
