Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
CRONE wasn’t a particularly good guess, leaving me with one green box and 181 remaining solutions. I very nearly guessed SUITE for my second guess, but had this stubborn desire to use all new letters. I finally settled on SLUIT, which is like a ditch, and groaned when I realized it left me with just one possible solution: SUITE for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
Same as yesterday, the Bot and I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying. May totals are now:
Erik: 8 points
Wordle Bot: 2 points
How To Play Competitive Wordle

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word suite comes from the French word of the same spelling, meaning “a sequence” or “a retinue” which in turn comes from the Latin sequi, or “to follow.” Originally, it referred to a sequence of musical pieces or, alternatively, attendants following someone important. Later it was used to refer to extended or connected rooms as well as coordinated sets.
