Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
BREAK wasn’t the opener I hoped it would be, but the 302 remaining solutions were stripped back to just 5 after HOIST did its magic. TALON didn’t give me a single new box, but that wasn’t a big deal: Just one word remained. QUOTA for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
Zero points all around today, what with the four guesses and the tie. This leaves our total at yesterday’s tally. One more day after this and we can declare a March winner. Then I’ll reset the scores and start all over again for April. Wordle Bot has a score to settle, no doubt.
Erik: 22 points.
Wordle Bot: 13 points.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “quota” comes from the Latin word quota (pars), meaning “how large a part” or “how much”. It is derived from quotus, meaning “of what number” or “how many”, which is related to quot, meaning “how many”.
The word entered English in the 17th century, originally referring to a proportional part or share, especially a required contribution or allocation.
