If you\u2019re struggling with today\u2019s Wordle, you\u2019re not alone. This was the trickiest Wordle I\u2019ve had in a long time, and I almost didn\u2019t get the correct answer! That may not be the most reassuring thing to read from your humble Wordle guide, but normally I\u2019m pretty good at this game. Besides, I did get the correct answer in the end.

After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Green<\/strong>: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yellow<\/strong>: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gray<\/strong>: The letter is not in the word at all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator.

You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/upshot\/wordle-bot.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/upshot\/wordle-bot.html\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/upshot\/wordle-bot.html\" aria-label=\"right here\">right here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>PRICE was a lousy opening guess, leaving me with all grey boxes and 462 words remaining. SALON slashed that to 9, but I fumbled the next few guesses. Instead of MOLDY, Wordle Bot told me I should have guessed DEFOG, and that\u2019s very true. I guess I didn\u2019t realize I had so few words remaining, and didn\u2019t realize how many ended with LLY. At this point I came up with FOLLY, GOLLY, HOLLY, JOLLY, and a few others and guessed FLOGS to weed some out, but it didn\u2019t weed enough. I tried JOLLY next and then, foolish me, thought for sure I only had HOLLY left. If the Wordle had been LOLLY, however, I would have lost this one entirely. It still took me six tries! Yikes!<\/p>\n<p>Competitive Wordle Score<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Wordle Bot<\/p>\n<p>Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/p>\n<p>I get -2 for guessing in six and -1 for losing to the Bot. I\u2019m so glad this isn\u2019t 2XP Friday! The Bot gets 1 point for beating me, but loses it for guessing in five. Our new totals for October are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Erik: <\/strong>18 points<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wordle Bot:<\/strong> 5 points<\/p>\n<p>How To Play Competitive Wordle<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li>Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points\u2014positive or negative.<\/li>\n<li>You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Today\u2019s Wordle Etymology<\/p>\n<p>The word holly comes from Old English holegn (also spelled holen or holeg), meaning \u201cholly tree.\u201d It likely derives from Proto-Germanic hulinaz or hulinam, related to Old High German hulis and Old Norse hulfr, all referring to holly or similar evergreen shrubs. The deeper root may come from the Proto-Indo-European base kel- or kol- meaning \u201cto prick\u201d or \u201cto stick,\u201d in reference to the plant\u2019s sharp leaves.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to follow me for all your daily puzzle-solving guides, TV show and movie reviews and more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/erikkain\/#196d790943ab\" target=\"_self\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/erikkain\/#196d790943ab\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/erikkain\/#196d790943ab\" aria-label=\"here on this blog\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">here on this blog<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How to solve today&#8217;s Wordle.
