Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
AWOKE is a rare choice for me as an opening guess. I almost never pick words with three vowels, but I thought I’d try it today. Alas, 182 words remained and only one letter landed in a green box. GUTSY was all new letters, but only a yellow ‘T’ emerged from that, and 11 options remained. Thankfully, TRIBE slashed that down to just one: ELITE for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score

I get 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot. The Bot gets 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating me. This brings us to a June total of:
Erik: 15 points
Wordle Bot: 12 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 “elite” comes from the French word élite, meaning “selection” or “choice.” It derives from the Latin verb eligere, meaning “to choose” (from e- “out” + legere “to pick, read”).
It originally referred to the chosen or best part of a group, especially in military or social contexts.
