Today’s Wordle Credit: Erik Kain See yesterday’s Wordle #840 right here. Wordle Bot Analysis After each Wordle I solve I head over to the Wordle Bot homepage to see how my guessing game was. Can you solve today’s phrase? Play Now I got pretty lucky today.

Not with my opening guess— ghost— which left me with 119 remaining solutions, but my second guess— barge— worked out nicely. I only got one new vowel, but had fabulous luck with three green boxes. Honestly, I figured there were a few words left at this point but I thought of binge right away, probably because of all the binge-watching we do on Netflix (and the occasional binge eating when I get the munchies!) and voila! it was right! Huzzah for binging! Today’s Score I get 1 point for guessing in three, but I tied the Bot so zero points there.

1 point total and I’ll take it! Today’s Wordle Etymology The word “binge” has an interesting etymology. It originated from the English dialect word “binch,” which means “to fill up” or “to soak. ” The word “binch” itself is related to the Old Norse word “bik,” which means “to drink heavily.

” Over time, the meaning of “binge” evolved to refer to excessive and indulgent consumption of food or drink, particularly in the context of overeating or excessive alcohol consumption. Today, it is commonly used to describe episodes of excessive or uncontrolled behavior, such as binge-watching television shows or binge-eating junk food. Play Competitive Wordle Against Me!
