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.

My first guess, FLAME, was good enough, leaving me with just 63 words and two green vowels. The problem, of course, is so many words have an A in the third spot and an E in the fifth. I decided to try for one more vowel with STORE (just in case!) and lucky I did, because that turned up a yellow \u2018O\u2019 and a yellow \u2018T.\u2019 Only one word remained: OVATE for the win!<\/p>\n<p>Competitive Wordle Score<\/p>\n<p>Wordle Bot<\/p>\n<p>Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/p>\n<p>The Bot and I tied with three each, so that\u2019s 1 point a piece.
