I get 1 point for guessing in three and 1 for beating the Bot. The Bot loses 1 for losing to me and gains none for guessing in four. The August tally is now:<\/p>\n
Erik: <\/strong>3 points<\/p>\nWordle Bot<\/strong>: 3 points<\/p>\nHow To Play Competitive Wordle<\/p>\n
\n- 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
- 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
