Super duper lucky today for your humble narrator. I started with SCARE because of all the juicy common letters and was not disappointed. A green ‘S’ and two yellow boxes left me feeling pretty confident, though at this point I was hoping for a 3-guess game.
STRAY was actually the first word that came to mind as I juggled my yellow boxes and while I very nearly went with all new letters for my second guess, I decided to go with my gut instead. Lucky me, STRAY was the Wordle! Huzzah! Competitive Wordle Score I get 2 points for guessing in two and 1 point for beating the Wordle Bot, who took three tries today. 3 points for me! Hizzle-dee-dee! How To Play Competitive Wordle Today’s Wordle Etymology The word "stray" comes from the Old French verb estraier or estraier , meaning "to wander" or "go astray," which in turn derives from the Vulgar Latin estragare ("to scatter" or "to stray").
This is likely based on the Latin root extrā ("outside" or "beyond"). The word was adopted into Middle English in the 14th century, initially as both a verb ("to wander") and a noun ("one who wanders"). Over time, its usage expanded to include animals or objects that are lost or wandering.
