You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/upshot\/wordle-bot.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/upshot\/wordle-bot.html\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/upshot\/wordle-bot.html\" aria-label=\"right here\"><em data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/upshot\/wordle-bot.html\">right here<\/em><\/a><em>. <\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>STEAK was a disappointing opener, leaving me with a whopping 170 words. CHOIR smashed that big number down to just 7. That&#8217;s when I got really lucky and tried TROUT to juggle some of my yellow boxes. Ended up snagging the Wordle!<\/p>\n<h3>Competitive Wordle Score<\/h3>\n<figure role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion><\/p>\n<p role=\"button\">Today&#8217;s Wordle Bot<\/p>\n<p><\/fbs-accordion><small>Credit: Erik Kain<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I get 1 point for guessing in three and so does the Bot. We each get 0 for tying. This brings our May totals to:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Erik: <\/strong>6 point<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wordle Bot: <\/strong>0<strong> <\/strong>points<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>How To Play Competitive Wordle<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points.<\/li>\n<li>If you beat your opponent you get 1 point. If you tie, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add it up to get your score. Keep a daily running score or just play for a new score each day.<\/li>\n<li>Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points\u2014positive or negative.<\/li>\n<li>You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Today\u2019s Wordle Etymology<\/h3>\n<p>The word <em>trout <\/em>comes from the Old English <em>truht <\/em>which in turn comes from Late Latin <em>tructa. <\/em>It\u2019s likely that <em>tructa <\/em>was derived from the Greek tr\u014dkt\u0113s which means \u201ca gnawer\u201d (from<em> tr\u014dgein, <\/em>or \u201cto gnaw). This likely relates to the fish\u2019s sharp, nibbling teeth.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Let me know how you fared with your Wordle today on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/erikkain\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/erikkain\/\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/erikkain\/\" aria-label=\"Twitter\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/erikkain\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/erikkain\/\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/erikkain\/\" aria-label=\"Instagram\">Instagram<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/erikkainwriter\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/erikkainwriter\/\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/erikkainwriter\/\" aria-label=\"Facebook\">Facebook<\/a>.
