It’s funny how sometimes I’ll get an opening guess that leaves me with 30 words and it still takes four or even five guesses to get the Wordle, but today I get one with 623 words remaining — FIELD — and then SCOUR slashes that down to two and all I can even come up with is CRASH, which happened to be the Wordle! (CRASS was the other, but I wouldn’t have guessed that anyways since I rarely guess double letters unless they make the most sense).
The Bot and I each get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying. Our August totals inch forward:
“Crash” is probably onomatopoeic, imitating the sound of a violent impact or breaking. It appeared in English in the 14th century, likely influenced by similar Germanic words such as crack and crush, and later broadened to mean any sudden collision, collapse, or failure.
