At last, after I don’t know how many days of losing or tying, I finally got a win on the stupid evil Wordle Bot. I get 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating the Bot. The Bot loses 1 point for me beating it and gets 0 for guessing in four. Our totals for July narrow:
Erik: 0 points
Wordle Bot: 7 points

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “undid” is the past tense of “undo,” which comes from Old English “undōn,” meaning to reverse, annul, or open. It combines the prefix “un-” (meaning reversal or opposite) with “do” (from Old English “dōn”, to perform or make). So “undid” literally means reversed what was done.
