Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I got a bit lucky there at the end, but that just makes up for my unluckiness early on. STAKE is a pretty good guess, but not today. With 399 words remaining, and just one yellow box, I really wasn’t sure what to do next. (Of course, I didn’t know there were 399 words left at the time, but I was pretty sure there were.
CHOIR slashed that number down to 44, which still isn’t great, and not a single letter turned up yellow or green. At this point, I went with ENEMY because I was pretty sure there were going to be two E’s and I wanted to check if ‘Y’ was involved. This cut that 44 down to just 5, and then I got lucky. BEVEL seemed like a good idea and it was!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “bevel” has its origins in the Old French word “bevel,” which means “a slant or slope.” This, in turn, is derived from the Latin word “bibellus,” which is a diminutive form of “bibus,” meaning “drinking cup.” The connection to a drinking cup may refer to the slanted or angled edges of certain types of cups.
In English, the term “bevel” came to be used in the 14th century to refer to an angle that is not a right angle, particularly in the context of carpentry and stone masonry, where creating angled surfaces is common. The concept of a bevel, as a slanted edge or surface, has since been applied to various fields, including engineering, machining, and graphic design.
