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 Super lucky opening guess but not quite lucky enough to get it in two (let alone one). Flame is a word I use from time to time as a stand-in for slate which is Wordle Bot’s favorite word.

Today, flame was better. Alas, I guessed flake for my second guess, which turned out to be exactly the kind of guess you’d expect from that word. But I only had one option remaining after that: flare for the win! Today’s Score Actually quite a lovely day: 1 point for guessing in three and 1 for beating the Bot, who took four.

2 points baby! Huzzah! Today’s Wordle Etymology The word “flare” has its roots in Middle English, coming from the verb “flaren” which means to spread out. It was borrowed from Middle Dutch “vleren,” a variant of “vleien,” which meant to spread, flow, or float. The notion of spreading outward is essential to the meaning of “flare,” which can refer to a sudden burst of flame or light, or the action of something spreading outward from a central point.

In its modern usage, “flare” can have several meanings, including: A sudden burst of fire or light. A device that produces a bright light for signaling, illumination, or identification. The spreading out of a dress, pants, or other garment.

A sudden outbreak of violence or conflict. An exacerbation of symptoms or a sudden outburst of emotion. The word has evolved over time, but the core concept of spreading out or bursting outward remains central to its various applications.
