Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
SHARE was an okay opening guess, though I had over 100 possible solutions after, and just one green ‘E’ in the last box. I picked all new letters for my second guess, CLOUT, which ended up being a good decision. Later I’d learn that there were two choices left still, but all I could think of at the time was TITLE. Thankfully, that was the Wordle—and not TILDE.
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying the Bot. 1 x 2 for 2XP Friday = 2 points. Huzzah!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word title comes from the Old French titre, which in turn originated from the Latin titulus. In Latin, titulus referred to an inscription, label, or heading, often used to indicate ownership or honor. Over time, the meaning expanded to include the designation of rank, honor, or office. The use of title in English, appearing around the 14th century, came to represent not only labels or headings for works of literature but also terms denoting status or rank.
