Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to see how I did. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I was actually not thinking about chores when I made my first guess. I was thinking about how some video games are more like doing chores than having fun and how annoying that is. Whatever the case, CHORE left me with just 19 words to pick from and a green and yellow box. I guessed LEAFY to eliminate as many words as possible and did exactly that: 1 word remained and after some head-scratching, I finally came up with it. CLEFT for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
It’s 2XP Friday and that’s a good thing for me today. 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating Wordle Bot who guessed in four. 2 points x 2 = a whopping 4 points! Huzzah and Huzzizle!
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “cleft” originates from Old English “cleoft,” which itself comes from the Proto-Germanic *kluftiz. This term is related to the act or process of splitting or cleaving. The Proto-Germanic root is also connected to similar words in other Germanic languages, such as the Dutch “kloof” and the German “Kluft,” both meaning a split or chasm. The root of the word can be traced further back to the Proto-Indo-European *gleubh-, which means to cut, slice, or split. Over time, “cleft” has come to refer specifically to a split or division in a material object, or metaphorically, to a division or split in abstract entities. The evolution of the word reflects its use in describing the physical act of splitting or dividing, a meaning that has been preserved and expanded in modern English.
