Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to see how I did. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Stale was supposed to be a great guess but it really wasn’t. 120 possible solutions remained. Could be worse! From here I guessed hound in an attempt to get at least one more vowel, and luckily I got another green box in the process. At this point, Wordle Bot says I had 9 words left. I could only come up with a few, but two of them had the letter “F”—force and forge. This was a tough choice for me. I often pick the coolest word, but both force and forge are pretty cool words. I decided that I’d go with force since the letter ‘C’ is in Wordle Bot’s starting word crane. Lucky me, it was the Wordle!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The etymology of the word ‘force’ traces back through several languages and periods, reflecting a rich history of usage and meaning. The word ‘force’ in English comes from the Old French word “force” (also “forse,” “fors”), which itself originated from the Vulgar Latin “*fortia,” a derivative of the Latin word “fortis” meaning “strong, mighty, firm, steadfast.” The Latin term “fortis” is further derived from Proto-Indo-European roots that are related to strength and fortitude.
Over time, ‘force’ in English has come to encompass a wide range of meanings, from physical strength and power to moral or intellectual influence. The use of ‘force’ in the context of laws (e.g., “enforce”) reflects the concept of imposing authority or ensuring compliance, highlighting the word’s evolution to include aspects of compulsion or coercion beyond mere physical strength.
This evolution of the word ‘force’ mirrors changes in society and the ways in which power, authority, and strength have been conceptualized and exercised throughout history.
