Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
All told, a pretty good guessing game thanks to a stellar—read lucky—opening salvo. BRAKE left me with 6 remaining words, and REBAR slashed that number to just 1. It did take ma minute to come up with ZEBRA, though. Tricky word!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and 1 for beating the Bot (at last!) totalling a grandd total of 2 points! Huzzah!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “zebra” comes from the Portuguese word “zebra” or “zevra,” which referred to a wild ass or horse. The Portuguese term itself likely has roots in an African language, potentially from the Congolese word “zebro” or “zebroa,” meaning a type of wild horse or ass. The term was adopted into English in the early 17th century to describe the black-and-white striped animal native to Africa that we now know as the zebra.
