The Answer:

Today's Wordle

Every day I check Wordle Bot to see how I did. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.

Today’s Wordle wasn’t too difficult, though I found myself on Guess #3 with a lot of very similar words to choose from. Things started off swell with crate narrowing down my options to just 61 words. Wordle Bot didn’t like my second guess, boink, which only slashed that number to 5. I picked shank because I figured it eliminated the most words, and lucky for me it was right!

I get 1 point for guessing in three but I tied the Bot so zero points there. I’ll take a point!

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.

The word "shank" has its origins in Old English, specifically from the word "sceanca" or "scanca", which means "leg" or "shin". It is related to similar words in other Germanic languages such as Dutch "schenkel" (meaning "shin, leg") and German "Schenkel" (also meaning "leg"). These words likely stem from a Proto-Germanic root *skankon-.

The word "shank" has evolved in modern English to refer not only to a part of the leg but also to any long, slender part of an object, like the shank of a screw, which resembles a leg in shape. The use of "shank" in the sense of a homemade knife found in prisons ("to shank", meaning to stab with such a knife) is an extension of this, from the notion of the knife having a long, thin blade.
