The game is afoot - Wordle #1598, the 1598th puzzle in what promises to be the final stretch of the classic word game. With only two hundred words remaining in the catalog, many are left wondering: what's next for Wordle? Will it start anew, or will we see significant changes?
But first, let's tackle today's challenge. Our starting word was CRATE, which narrowed down our options to 53 potential solutions, with just two vowels. We played smart, leaving the yellow "A" in place but keeping the green "E" where it belonged.
Next up, SALVE cut the remaining guesses in half, bringing us closer than we thought possible. ABODE was on our minds, but ultimately fell short.
However, on our fourth try, we finally got AWOKE - and with it, a sense of accomplishment that comes with beating the puzzle's final hurdle.
Now, let's take a look at what the Wordle Bot had to say about our performance. With both of us guessing in four tries, we tied for zero points, but our totals remain: I'm up one point, while the Bot is still level. Will this streak continue? We'll have to wait and see.
As always, don't forget to check out your Wordle score with the Wordle Bot right here.
For those interested in competing against friends or family, the rules are simple: guess in 1 try for 3 points, in 2 tries for 2 points, in 3 tries for 1 point, and so on. Fridays are 2XP, meaning you'll double your points - whether that's a win or a loss.
In other news, today's answer comes from the word awoke, which is the past tense of awake. Interestingly, this word has roots dating back to Proto-Indo-European, where it was related to the root "to be strong" or "lively".
And so, another day comes to a close - but don't worry, there's always tomorrow's puzzle to solve.

! Like I get it, it's fun and all, but can we just get some new puzzles in already? The last thing I want is to have to play the same 5-letter words over and over again for another 200 more days. I mean, how many ways can you say AWAKE before you want to pull your hair out?! 
And what's with the Bot scores? Can we just get a human leaderboard like everyone else?
. The Bot's tie with me was a nice surprise too - it's always exciting to see who's going to come out on top each week.
. What will happen to our beloved puzzle then? Will we get to play with new features or themes? Only time will tell! 
. And who knows, maybe I'll even beat the Bot again 
. Bring it on, Wordle! 
I guess it's cool they're keeping things interesting like that.
what do u think will happen next? will they make changes or start a new game? i dont wanna say goodbye to wordle just yet 
But, seriously, it's crazy that we tied with the Bot - I didn't expect that. I'm intrigued by the word history behind WAKE/AWAKE, too - it's amazing how words have evolved over time. Now, on to tomorrow's challenge! 
. And what's even more interesting is how our progress, or lack thereof, can be reflected in a simple numerical score 
. It's like we're all just trying to level up in life, you know? But the thing is, there's always another puzzle on the horizon, and we have to keep adapting, keeping our minds sharp... it's a never-ending cycle 
.
. I swear, if they don't mix things up soon, I'm gonna have to start looking for a new daily challenge 
. I mean, who knew that guessing words could be so addictive? Anyway, can't wait to see what tomorrow brings and if my streak will keep going strong 
What do u think they should change up next? More pics or videos? 
the bot is so underrated tho, cant believe we tied lol 
and i'm totally getting it on sunday funday lol anyway back to wordle... awoke huh interesting fact about the past tense tho 
. I mean, who knows what they'll do next? Maybe a new game, or something entirely different? 
and now we're wondering what's next for the game? will it be a new format or just some tweaks? 
anyway back to today's puzzle... CRATE was such a smart move, I love how we left that yellow "A" for the bot to figure out 
but AWOKE was the ultimate goal, right?! 
The Bot's just keeping it simple with XP days and all, but I feel like there's gotta be more to it
