It’s 2XP Friday and I’m ready to Wordle!
I’m also busy with a thousand other things. I bought a new dishwasher because my other one was going bad, so I need to get that installed. I’m helping my brother build a gaming / music recording PC. I have lots of work piled up that I desperately need to finish.
And so much more. My poor garage needs to be cleaned organized, for one thing. My whole house could use a deep clean. I need a nap.
But for now, what we all need to do is hurry up and do this Wordle!

Wordle Bot Analysis
After I complete a Wordle each day, I go to the Wordle Bot homepage to see how I performed against the Bot and check out how good (or bad) my guessing game is. This is where I get the above screenshot that shows how many words I have left after each guess and so forth.
Today, I did okay. Quiet left me with a yellow and a green box and 55 words to choose from. Cheat slashed that down to just three, though it’s still pretty hard to guess right with just a 33.33% chance. I guessed enact but alas, it was exact which I suppose qualifies as mildly ironic.
Today’s Score
Once again, I lost to the Bot which means I get -1 for losing, 0 for guessing in four and multiply that by 2 for 2XP Friday. -2 points for me! Boo!
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “exact” has its origins in Latin. It comes from the Latin word “exigere,” which means “to demand,” “to drive out,” or “to measure.” “Exigere” is a compound word formed from “ex-” (out) and “agere” (to drive). Over time, the meaning of “exigere” evolved to include the sense of obtaining something with precision or accuracy, which is reflected in the modern meaning of “exact.”
The word “exact” in English has been used since the late 16th century to refer to something done with precision, accuracy, or strictness. It can be used as a verb to mean “to demand or require” and as an adjective to describe something that is precise or accurate down to the smallest detail.
