Every day I check Wordle Bot to see how I did. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here .
Well things started out lousy. Hoist is probably a better second guess than first. 677 words remained after guess #1, which I slashed down to just 8 with crane.
Revue knocked out all the rest of the words leaving me with just merge for the win. Huzzah!
Competitive Wordle Score
Total wash. 0 points for guessing in four and 0 for tying the Bot.
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 ‘merge’ comes from the Latin word mergere, meaning “to dip, immerse, plunge into water” or figuratively “to engulf, immerse, plunge into,” indicating a sense of sinking into a liquid. The use of mergere evolved over time in the Latin-speaking world, and as Latin evolved into the Romance languages, the word and its derivatives carried over into several of them with similar meanings.
By the time it entered English in the early 17th century, ‘merge’ retained the sense of joining or combining, extending beyond the literal immersion in water to a more figurative sense of entities coming together to form a single unit. The financial and corporate connotation of ‘merge’, as in the combining of companies, is a more modern development of the word, reflecting the broader application of the concept of entities coming together in various contexts.
