Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Things started off poorly with SPIRE. I had 156 words remaining (it could be much worse!) and just one yellow box (it could be much better). ADMIN shuffled things around and cut that number to just 8. I guessed TUNIC because I always liked tunics, which I viewed as a youngster as an essential piece of Medieval apparel. Knights wore tunics! Huzzah!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get one point for guessing in 3 and zero points for tying the Wordle Bot. I’ll take a point after many days of nothing!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word tunic comes from the Latin tunica, a common garment in Ancient Rome. Its origin likely traces back to Greek thynakē, a type of linen clothing. The term entered English through Old French in the Middle Ages and has since evolved to refer to a loose, long top worn across various cultures.
