How To Solve Today's Wordle
Saturday is here and it's a busy weekend for your humble Wordle guide. I just finished writing my review of Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps and my weekend streaming guide and I still have some video editing to do and dinner to make and, well, let's just leave it at that.

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
SHARE was a strong opening guess, leaving me with just 32 remaining words and two yellow boxes. I went with mostly new letters for my second guess (other than 'H' which I tried placing in a new spot). TOUCH left me with just one possible solution: HAUNT for the win!
Today's Wordle
I slid into the lead yesterday and my winning streak continues today. I get 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating the Bot. The Bot gets 0 for guessing in four and -1 for losing to me. Our totals for July widen to:
Erik: 10 points
Wordle Bot: 5 points
The word "haunt" comes from the Old French hanter, meaning "to frequent, visit regularly, or dwell in." Its origin is uncertain, but it may be of Germanic origin. The word entered English in the 14th century, initially meaning "to frequent a place" or "reside," and later evolved to include the ghostly or supernatural sense of "visit as a ghost" in the 16th century.
