How to solve today’s Wordle.
Are you looking for tips, hints and answers for Saturday’s Wordle? You can find them here:
Sunday, lazy Sunday. I think I’d rather Sunday be lazy than actually be a lazy day for me. I usually do a ton of housework and prep for game night, then often cook a ton of food for game night and spend the entire evening playing games. Yet, deep in my heart, there’s an idealistic remnant that longs for a day where there is nothing at all. Not even gravity. Just floating, floating, fetal hibernation in a galactic womb. Like sleep, but without dreams or the morning pains. The essence of laziness, pure and warm and fuzzy.
I went too far. Let’s do this Wordle.

Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot. right here.
I got incredibly lucky today, especially because I struggled a bit with my first word. I started with CREA and then couldn’t think of a final letter. Well, I guess I had the word CREEP in mind at the beginning but didn’t want two E’s so I swapped the second one for an “A” and then couldn’t think of anything else. So I swapped the “R” for an “L” and guessed CLEAT. Only a few words came to mind at this point, but I had no idea I had eliminated all but 4. TRACE or TEACH were the ones that came to mind and I chose TEACH – lucky me!
Competitive Wordle Score
A total failure. 0 points for guessing in four and 0 for the draw with the bot.

The word “teach” comes from Old English tæcanwhich means “to show, instruct or warn”. It comes from the Proto-Germanic Subscribewhich means “to show or to demonstrate”. This in turn comes from the Proto-Indo-European root deik- means “to indicate or show,” which is also the origin of words like “token” and “index.”
