Wordle analysis
Every day I check the Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I started with the favorite initial guess of Wordle Bot because, as I said above, I was pretty distracted with my Wordle today. Why not start with a tried and true option? CRANE wasn’t great though, leaving me with just a yellow box and 273 possible solutions. SLEPT only reduced it to 61. No new boxes.
I tried EMBED, which is ironic given the final answer. All I had to try was VIDEO for the win.
Competitive Wordle Score
I tied up the Bot today and guessed at four which means I got a big fat zero. Oh well.

Today’s Wordle etymology
The word “video” comes from the Latin verb “videre”, which means “to see”. The term “video” comes from the first person singular form “video”, which means “to see”. It was adopted into English in the 20th century, initially to describe television and motion picture technology, and later to refer to the recording and reproduction of moving visual images in general. The use of “video” has expanded with the development of digital technology to include various forms of visual media, including video games, video conferencing, and online streaming.
