At last, after I don’t know how many days of losing or tying, I finally got a win on the stupid evil Wordle Bot. I get 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating the Bot. The Bot loses 1 point for me beating it and gets 0 for guessing in four. Our totals for July narrow:
Erik: 0 points
Wordle Bot: 7 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 “undid” is the past tense of “undo,” which comes from Old English “undōn,” meaning to reverse, annul, or open. It combines the prefix “un-” (meaning reversal or opposite) with “do” (from Old English “dōn”, to perform or make). So “undid” literally means reversed what was done.
