Not a bad day today. **YOUTH** wasn’t a great opener, with 301 words remaining, but **TRADE** cut that down to 5 and then I got super lucky, getting **CREST** for the win on my third guess. Yay for me!

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 “crest” comes from the Latin word **crista**, meaning “tuft” or “plume,” especially of a bird. It passed into Old French as **creste**, meaning “tuft, comb, or helmet decoration,” and then into Middle English as **crest**. Originally, it referred to the plume on a knight’s helmet and later came to mean the top of anything, like a wave or hill.
