Wordle Guide Cracks Daily Puzzle with Analytical Insights.

Looking for help with today’s Wordle? In this guide, we have some extra hints and clues to help you on your path to Wordle victory, plus a fun Bonus Wordle to solve while you’re at it. The answer is below as well, plus some Wordle Bot analysis and plenty more.

Getting Started

It’s Saturday and there’s much to do, much work to be done, people to see and places to go. Busy, busy, busy. Not a moment’s rest! No rest for the wicked, as they say, nor for the weary. No rest for the puzzle guide writers. Let’s solve this Wordle and take a nap.

Oh, also, they’ve added a new badge you can earn if you beat the Wordle Bot by getting fewer guesses than it does. I did not achieve this badge today, though if you look at the Competitive Wordle score for August below, you’ll see that I should have earned it many times over!

Analysis and Conclusion

STALE (a slight inversion of the Wordle Bot’s daily SLATE) left me with just 4 words. I suspect the same was true of the Wordle Bot, or very nearly. I guessed LOUSE next and came up one shy: LOOSE for the win on guess #3!

The Bot and I tie with 3 a piece for the second day in a row. That’s 1 point each for guessing in three and 0 for tying. Our August scores inch up:

Etymology of ‘Loose’

“Loose” comes from Old Norse lauss, meaning “free, empty, or unattached,” from a Proto-Germanic root meaning “free” or “released.” It’s related to lose and less, and has long carried the sense of something not bound or firmly fixed.
