Wordle Analysis

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

I chose DELAY today because I had just had a phone conversation where my voice was delayed several seconds on the other end. It came through clearly, but only after an annoying wait. This made the conversation a little difficult, but we managed. From there, I chose PARCH because it contained many of the letters of the various words I had thought up for Wordle. It was, if I may say so, a CONVENIENT word that left me with only one possible solution. Hurrah!

Competitive Wordle Score

I get 1 point for guessing in three sentences and another for defeating that vile, sneaky Wordle Bot. 2 points! Another hurrah!

How to play competitive Wordle

• If you get a 1, guessing is worth 3 points, if you get a 2, guessing is worth 2 points, if you get a 3, guessing is worth 1 point, if you get a 4, guessing is worth 0 points, if you get a 5, guessing is worth -1 point, if you get a 6, guessing is worth -2 points and missing the Wordle is worth -3 points.
• If you beat your opponent, you get 1 point. If you draw, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add these points together to get your score. Keep a daily score or just play for a new score every day.
• On Fridays you get 2XP, which means you double your points – positive or negative.
• You can keep a running record or just play day by day. Have fun!
