Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I started with the Wordle Bot’s favorite opening guess because, like I said above, I was pretty distracted with my Wordle today. Why not start with a tried and true option? CRANE was not great, however, leaving me with just one yellow box and 273 possible solutions. SLEPT only slashed that to 61. No new boxes.
I tried EMBED, which is ironic given what the final answer was. All I had left to try was VIDEO for the win.
Competitive Wordle Score
I tied the Bot today and guessed in four which means I got a big fat zero. Oh well.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “video” originates from the Latin verb “videre,” which means “to see.” The term “video” is derived from the first-person singular form “video,” meaning “I see.” It was adopted into English in the 20th century, initially to describe the technology of television and motion pictures, and later to refer to the recording and playback of moving visual images in general. The use of “video” has expanded with the development of digital technology to encompass various forms of visual media, including video games, video conferencing, and online streaming.
