Another Saturday, another Wordle to solve. If you’re looking for extra clues or just want the answer, or if you’re playing Competitive Wordle and want to compare against my score and the Wordle Bot, find all of that below. I’ve also added a fun new feature: The Bonus Wordle! Since the NYT is now allowing subscribers to create their own 4 to 7 letter Wordles and share them, I thought I’d start sharing mine with you fine Wordlers.

How To Play Wordle
Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:
- Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.
- Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
- Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.
Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

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.
It’s funny. My first guess, CLOUT, left me with all grey boxes and 667 possible solutions but I still solved this in three. Sometimes a first guess leaves you with 15 and it still takes four guesses. SHARE cut that big number down to just 3 and I wavered between RAISE and ARISE and then went with the latter. Lucky me!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
“Arise” comes from Old English arīsan, meaning “to get up, stand up, or emerge,” formed from ā- (a prefix meaning “up, out, forth”) + rīsan (“to rise”). It shares roots with Old Norse rísa and German reisen, all deriving from Proto-Germanic rīsaną (“to rise”).
