The Answer:
Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I got pretty lucky today with my third guess. My opener, STAKE, not so much. With 159 words remaining and one lonely green box, I opted for all new letters in my second guess. CHOIR slashed 159 down to just 5, and left me with two yellow boxes and one green box. JUICE just happened to be the first word I came up with, and I figured why not? I didn’t know there were five words remaining to pick from—and I got lucky! Huzzah!

I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying the Bot. 1 point! I’ll take it!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “juice” has its origins in Old French and Latin. Here’s a breakdown of its etymology:
- Old French: The word “jus” (which means “juice” or “broth”) was used in Old French. This is where the English word “juice” directly derives from.
- Latin: The Old French “jus” comes from the Latin word “jus,” which also means “broth” or “juice.”
The Latin “jus” itself is believed to be related to the verb “jungere,” meaning “to join” or “to yoke,” suggesting the idea of something that is derived or extracted from another substance, like the liquid extracted from fruits or meat.
Overall, the progression from Latin to Old French to English shows a consistent meaning related to a liquid derived from another substance.
