Wordle Bot Analysis
After each Wordle I solve, I head overto the Wordle Bot homepage to see how my guessing game went.
Today, my Wordle journey began with flare—, but a single green ‘E’ disappointed me. I then tried scion, hoping for a breakthrough, but to no avail – no greens or yellows, and only ‘E’ and ‘U’ as potential vowels, with ‘Y’ being unlikely. So, taking a leap of faith, I tried queue, and to my surprise, every box turned green!
Today’s Score
I earned 2 points today by guessing in three attempts and beating the Bot, who needed four guesses. Huzzah!
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “queue” originates from the French word of the same spelling, meaning “tail” or “end line.” It was first used in English in the late 15th century and evolved to specifically refer to a waiting line. The English pronunciation of “queue” is derived from its adaptation and simplification over time.
