It’s 2XP Friday, which means anyone playing Competitive Wordle gets double the points (or loses twice as many points) today. Competitive Wordle works like this: You play against me or the Wordle Bot or someone else every day, and you get a score based on how well you do.
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.
Okay, let’s see how we do on today’s Wordle!

Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to see how I did. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here .
Snare was just another guess similar to words like crane and so forth that make good use of common vowels and consonants. It turned out to be super lucky, but not quite lucky enough to leave me with just one guess remaining. (Yesterday I got the Wordle in 2 guesses despite having 75 possible solutions remaining—now that’s lucky!)
I now could come up with several words: reach, ready, react and realm. I chose reach because it would at least eliminate or confirm react (the opposite would be true as well). I was now down to just two choices: ready or realm and I went with the one that I like better. Realm is just a very cool word. It makes me think of the Lords Of The Realm video games, and stuff like Game Of Thrones. In any case, it was right!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying the Bot. Double that for 2 points for 2XP Friday. Huzzah!
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “realm” originates from the Old French word “reialme” (also spelled “realme”), which came into Middle English as “realme” or “realm.” The Old French term is derived from the medieval Latin term “regalimen” or “regalimen,” which is a derivative of “regalis,” meaning “royal.” The Latin “regalis” itself comes from “rex,” meaning “king.” Thus, the etymology of “realm” traces back to concepts of kingship and royal authority, referring to a kingdom or a domain under a monarch’s rule. Over time, the meaning of “realm” has expanded beyond the strict confines of royal domains to include broader areas or fields of interest or activity.
