Things started off rather badly with CLOUT. 665 words remained—very nearly the number of the beast!—but SPARE slashed that to a reasonable 10. I had just recently referred to someone on Twitter as a KNAVE so I guessed that as kind of a joke at this point.

Imagine my surprise when it was the Wordle!? Competitive Wordle Score I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying the Bot. Multiply that by 2 for 2XP Friday and I get a whopping 2 points. Huzzah! How To Play Competitive Wordle Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points.

If you beat your opponent you get 1 point. If you tie, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point.

Add it up to get your score. Keep a daily running score or just play for a new score each day. Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points—positive or negative.

You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy! Today’s Wordle Etymology The word "knave" has an interesting etymological journey. It originally comes from the Old English word "cnafa," which meant "boy" or "servant.

" This term itself was borrowed from the Proto-Germanic "*knabō," which had similar meanings. Over time, the meaning of "knave" evolved. By the Middle Ages, "knave" began to take on a more negative connotation, referring to a dishonest or unscrupulous person.

This shift in meaning was partly influenced by the association of "knave" with lower social status and servitude, which were sometimes viewed negatively. In modern English, "knave" is somewhat archaic, often used in historical or literary contexts to describe a deceitful or unscrupulous person.
