Every day I look at Wordle Bot to analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.


I’m not entirely sure why SPOIL came to mind, but there it was and so I used it as an opener. It was a pretty good guess too! Unfortunately, I couldn’t solve this one from three words, even when I only had 20 words left. As a second guess I chose CLASH and that left me with three options. I almost chose ATLAS but chose AISLE instead. It had more vowels and no repeating letters. Well yes!
