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


I'm not feeling particularly good about my guessing game today. CHOIR was actually decent, with a green box and only 75 words left. But then I panicked and thought I should exclude as many vowels as possible for some reason and chose ADIEU next. This left me with a rather unmanageable 17 remaining possible solutions, which I reduced to just 2 using SNAIL. Luckily, I guessed the right word on the fourth try: STAIN for the win!


Competitive Wordle Score

I get 0 points for guessing in four cases, and as I feared, Wordle Bot guessed in three cases, so I lose 1 point for that. Lame.
