Today’s Wordle
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.
Word similar to yesterday, beginning and ending with two consonants with a single vowel in the middle. I also got today’s in just three, thank God. CLOSE was actually shockingly good, leaving me with only four words to choose from. I guessed SCENT because some of the options I thought of had “SC” at the beginning, and the only other word I could think of—SPECK—also had a “C.” I wish I had guessed it, but it didn’t make sense, you know?
Competitive Wordle Score
Once again, I get 1 point for guessing on three and 0 for tying the Bot. I’ll take it!

Today’s Wordle etymology
The word “speck” comes from the Old English word “spek”, meaning “small spot, stain, blemish”. This term probably comes from Proto-Germanic *spekka-, a term used to describe small particles or specks. The word has cognate forms in other Germanic languages, such as Middle Low German “spekke” and Middle Dutch “specke”, both of which mean “spot” or “speck”. Over time, the word evolved to mean any small particle or dot, retaining its meaning of something tiny or insignificant.
