How to solve today's Wordle.

Not only is it 2XP Friday, a day when you get to double your points if you play Competitive Wordle, it’s also the first of May. Happy new month, Wordlers! May is Working class history month. In the Catholic tradition, it’s the month of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It’s a whole bunch of other things as well, like Celiac Awareness Month, Borderline personality disorder awareness month and Skin Cancer Awareness Month. It’s also Bike Month and National Golf Month and Jewish Heritage Month and the list goes on and on.

Spring is in full bloom and summer beckons. School is almost out and students everywhere are crunching for finals. We, on the other hand, are just taking it easy solving word puzzles. Let’s solve today’s Wordle, shall we?

Looking for Thursday's Wordle? Check out our guide right here.


Today’s Bonus Custom Wordle

Now that we can create our own custom Wordles, I’m including a bonus Wordle with each daily Wordle guide. These can be 4 to 7 letters long. Hopefully this is a fun extra challenge. Click the link below to play the Wordle I hand-crafted for you.

Today’s Bonus Custom Wordle is 6 letters long.

The hint: Bird

The clue: This Wordle has a double letter.

Yesterday’s Custom Wordle Answer: HAWK


How To Play Wordle

Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:

  • Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.
  • Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
  • Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.

Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.


Today’s Wordle Hints And Answer

  • Wordle Bot’s Starting Word: SLATE
  • My Starting Word Today: PLATE (2 words left)
  • The Hint: On a helm, or over a fire.
  • The Clue: This Wordle begins with two consonants.

Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming!

Wordle Bot Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.


I almost guessed SLATE because I was being lazy and copying the Wordle Bot but then I thought I should just make it a bit different and went with PLATE instead. Who knew it would be such a lucky guess? Only two words remained, but I could only come up with PLUME. I guess PLEBE was the other one. Never even crossed my mind. Nor did it matter, since PLUME was the Wordle!

Competitive Wordle Score

I get 2 points for guessing in three and 1 point for beating the Bot. Since it’s 2XP Friday, that totals 6 points. Not too shabby! The Bot gets 1 for guessing in three but loses it immediately for losing to me. Lucky for the Bot, 0x2 is still 0. Our May totals start with a rather impressive gap:

Erik: 6 points

Wordle Bot: 0 points


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

“Plume” comes from Latin plūma (“feather”), via Old French plume.

It originally meant a feather, especially a decorative one, and later came to mean things like a feathered ornament, a rising cloud (of smoke or vapor), or something that spreads out like feathers.
