Wordle Wednesday may be over, but Thursday has arrived, and it's time to tackle today's Wordle. Yesterday's special riddle was a clever one - "Day after day, I cut and I cut, a thousand thousand cuts I've made, but never drawn blood." The answer? A hairstylist or a barber.
On to today's challenge! We're starting with a word hint that sounds like a fissure - the Wordle ends with an obvious vowel. To help you out, we have a starting word of COURT (72 letters remaining) and our trusty Wordle Bot analysis guide.
In Competitive Wordle terms, 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 worthless; guessing in 5 is -1 points; and missing the word is -3 points. Fridays are 2XP, doubling your score for that day.
Now, let's look at today's Wordle answer. The final image reveals the answer: CHASM. A beautiful word indeed. How did our starting word COURT lead to this outcome? Well, it seems I had a "split decision" between CHAIR and CHASM on my second guess. As luck would have it, CHASM was the correct solution.
With that settled, we see how Erik (that's me) scored in Competitive Wordle today, with 3 points. Our rival, the Wordle Bot, scored the same amount, so we tied once again. The score remains wide open for now.
Here are a few more tidbits from today's game: CHASM comes from Greek khasma, meaning "yawning hollow" or "gaping opening." It entered English via Late Latin chasma, retaining its sense of deep, open fissures.
The Wordle Bot scores and analysis remain the same as yesterday - great tools for improving your puzzle-solving skills. I hope you enjoyed today's challenge!

Just looked at the stats on my Wordle journey, and it's crazy to see how far I've come. This week alone, I've guessed over 50 words in one go 
, with a 75% success rate. The most common word I'm guessing is indeed "house" - I mean, who doesn't love houses? 
But seriously, it's amazing to see how the Wordle Bot analysis has helped me crack some tough puzzles.
It's like people are really into ancient Greek words today. Also, can we talk about how much I love the new Wordle graphics? 
They're so sleek and modern! Anyway, back to the stats - my word guessing speed has improved by 20% over the past month, which is pretty cool if I do say so myself 
.
It's like people go into bonus mode or something. My score on Friday was a whopping 10 points higher than usual - maybe it's the coffee 
!
but thursday is still here and i'm ready to tackle it 
i love how erik explained the process of guessing CHASM from COURT, it makes total sense now that he broke it down 
i'm glad our starting word led him to the correct solution, even if it took a few guesses 
anyway, chasm is a pretty deep word, i mean literally... who knew it came from greek? 
and 3 points is okay for erik, not bad at all! but lol the scoring system can be kinda weird, i mean what's up with -1 points for guessing in 5? 
is it because of the word 'cut' or something? 
and btw, 72 letters remaining is a looong time 
who else knew chasma was related to gaping openings? 
. And what's up with the scoring system? 3 points for a single correct answer? Not exactly thrilling 
.
and now chasm, that's deep 
i love how the bot scores work too, it's always good to have some friendly competition 
can't wait to see what tomorrow brings
