The Response:
Today’s Wordle is challenging! With only one yellow box and 271 solutions left, GRAIN wasn’t the best opener. ROUTE handed me two more yellow boxes and cut that number down to 18. Though I at least got the “R” into green, FEMUR turned out to be a terrible third attempt, eliminating only eight of those terms. I was left with only one option after SUPER eliminated all the others: UPPER for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
Fortunately, the Bot took as many tries as I did today, so my final score was only -1. I lose a point for guessing in five. I’m lucky!
How to Play Wordle Competitively
- One guess is worth three points, two guesses are worth two points, three guesses are worth one point, four guesses are worth zero points, five guesses are worth -1 point, six guesses are worth -2 point, and missing the wordle is worth three points.
- You receive one point if you defeat your opponent. You lose all points if you tie. Additionally, you lose by one point to your opponent. To find your score, add them all up. You can either play for a different score every day or keep a running score every day.
- You double your points on Fridays, whether they are favorable or negative.
- You can play day-by-day or maintain a running tally. Have fun!
Wordle Origins of Today
The Old English word “uferra”—the comparative version of “ufan”—is where the term “upper” comes from. It means “above” or “over.” Proto-Germanic “ub-” and Proto-Indo-European “upo-” are related to the root “ufan” and both have the meanings of “over,” “above,” or “higher.” The word “upper” came to be used in its current English usage over time to describe something that is higher or placed above in status, rank, or position.
