Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
This was a tricky word, and I don’t even feel bad that it took me four tries. CRATE left me with 127 words, but I was in a tricky position for my second guess and just couldn’t come up with anything I really liked. POISE only cut that number to 8, and even GLOBE left me with two possibilities. Fortunately, I could only think of OZONE and that was the Wordle.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word ozone comes from the Greek verb ozein, meaning “to smell.” It was coined in the mid-19th century by German chemist Christian Friedrich Schönbein, who noticed the distinctive sharp smell produced by electrical discharges (like lightning). He named the gas ozon (German), later anglicized to ozone.
