Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:
Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.
Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming!
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here .
PLATE was a strong opener, giving me a green P and a green E in the first and fifth boxes. I still went with all new letters for my second guess, ROUGH, though Wordle Bot said I should have picked RUINS. Still, this only left me with two words: PURSE and PUREE and truth be told, I never even thought of PUREE. And even if I had, I rarely guess double letter words...PURSE for the win!
With another tie, that’s 1 point a piece for the Wordle Bot and myself, and that means we finish off the month of July with a tie. And there’s no overtime in Competitive Wordle, so them’s the breaks folks. No winner, no loser. Doesn’t get any closer than that!
“Purse” comes from Old English purs, borrowed from Late Latin bursa, meaning “bag” or “pouch,” which in turn comes from Greek býrsa, meaning “hide” or “leather.” It originally referred to a small leather pouch for carrying coins or valuables.
