Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
GRAPE wasn’t a terrible opener today, but it wasn’t great, either. BLEAT only slashed the 126 remaining words down to 13. I wasn’t really sure what to pick at this point, but I knew I wanted the ‘A’ and ‘E’ in the second and fourth boxes and came up with LADEN. Close but no cigar, as they say. Thankfully, only one word remained: NAVEL for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
A total wash for today since both the Bot and I guessed in four. 0 points!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word navel comes from Old English nafela, which traces back to Proto-Germanic nabōlą. This, in turn, originates from Proto-Indo-European (h₃nobh-, meaning “navel” or “hub.” The word is related to the Latin umbilicus and the Greek omphalos, both of which also mean “navel.” The root reflects the concept of a central point or hub, emphasizing the navel’s role as a bodily center.
