Word analysis

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

As you can see, I didn’t do very well in today’s guessing game. CAPER left me with a few hundred options and HOIST reduced that to 29, which is still way too many. I tried something off the beaten path with FUNGI, but in retrospect it wasn’t the best bet either. WINDY only left me with one, on gamble #5: VINYL for the win! Finally!

Competitive Wordle Score

Just like yesterday, I get -1 for guessing five and -1 for losing to the Bot, which made four attempts today. -2 hurts!
