Today’s Wordle Etymology

“Beige” comes from French beige, originally referring to undyed, natural-colored wool. Its deeper origin is uncertain. By the 19th century, English adopted it as the name for the pale grayish-tan color of such wool.

Today’s Wordle Bot Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.

CLOAK was a lousy guess, leaving me 665 words (one short of 666, the Number of the Beast!) and all grey boxes. SPITE slashed that down to 9 and GUIDE guided me to the one final possible solution: Charles Boyle’s favorite color, BEIGE. Yippie kayak other buckets!
