The weekend is upon us and oh what a lovely, practically-summer spring weekend it is. Almost a shame to have to sit indoors and work. The nights are still cooling off nicely, however, so you might want to give my Weekend Streaming Guide a glance for some great new shows and movies to watch this weekend.

Wordle Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.

CLOUT wasn’t the best opener today, with 174 remaining solutions to get through, but at least AMUSE cut that down to just three. I guessed NURSE because I just finished watching the excellent HBO drama The Pitt and that turned out to be very lucky, indeed. NURSE for the win!

Competitive Wordle Score

I get 1 point for guessing in three and lose it immediately thanks to losing to the Bot. The Bot gets 2 points for guessing in two and another for beating me. I really can’t catch a break! Our April total is now:

Erik: 2 points

Wordle Bot: 9 points

How To Play Competitive Wordle

• Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points.
• If you beat your opponent you get 1 point. If you tie, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add it up to get your score. Keep a daily running score or just play for a new score each day.
• Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points—positive or negative.
• You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy!

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word “nurse” comes from the Old Frenchnorrice or nurse, meaning “wet nurse” or “foster mother,” which in turn comes from the Late Latinnutricia, from nutrire, meaning “to suckle, nourish, or feed.” The root nutr- also gives us words like nutrition and nurture.
