Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
CRIME didn't really pay once again. It never does but I keep trying it as my opening guess just to be sure. To be fair, it was better than Wordle Bot's SLATE! ROAST slashed the 163 words I had left to just 3, and from here...oh man, I almost guessed ROWDY but then ROUND seemed like a better choice. Oh well. I got it in four.
The Bot and I each get 0 for guessing in four and 0 for tying, leaving our August totals at:
Erik: 9 points
Wordle Bot: 13 points
The word rowdy comes from the mid-18th century American English slang term rowdy meaning 'rough, disorderly person.' It's probably a shortened form of rowdy-dowdy, itself an alteration of rigmarole-style slang for a boisterous, noisy fellow. The root idea is 'one who makes a row' (where row meant a noisy disturbance or quarrel). Over time, it shifted from describing a rough or violent person to the more general 'boisterous, loud, unruly.'

Frank Caprio: 'Nicest judge in the world' dies after cancer diagnosis
A US judge who amassed a huge online fan base via clips of his compassion in the courtroom has died. Frank Caprio was on the bench at a court in Providence, Rhode Island, for almost four decades. He became affectionately known as the "nicest judge in the world", NBC Boston reported, after viral videos of him handing out justice with a smile were viewed more than a billion times on social media. The latter years of his career, which ended in 2023, were documented in the TV show Caught In Providence. A statement on Wednesday on his Instagram page, which had 3.2 million followers, said he had died aged 88 "after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer". It said he was "beloved for his compassion, humility, and unwavering belief in the goodness of people". He had posted a message from his hospital bed the day before, saying: "Unfortunately I've had a setback, I'm back in the hospital now, and I'm coming to you again asking you to remember me in your prayers once more." Caprio's persona was at odds with my fellow TV judges, who were less sympathetic and more confrontational. In one popular clip, he dismissed a traffic ticket handed to a bartender who skipped a red light, as they were only earning less than $4 (£2.97) an hour. Another saw him listening sympathetically to a woman whose son had been killed, before dismissing her tickets and fines which had totalled $400 (£297). Read more from Sky News: Caprio also used his fame to speak out about inequality in the justice system. "Almost 90% of low-income Americans are forced to battle civil issues like health care, unjust evictions, veterans benefits and, yes, even traffic violations, alone," he said in one video. After his death was announced, Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee paid tribute to his "warmth and compassion". "He was more than a jurist - he was a symbol of empathy on the bench, showing us what is possible when justice is tempered with humanity," he said.

Inter Miami's Javier Mascherano continues to coach, makes call from stands after ejection
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Luis Suarez scored two penalty kicks for Inter Miami, after Tigres UANL defender Javier Aquino was penalized for a handball twice. Tigres forward Iván López nearly tied the match in added time, but his header hit the right post, bounced along the line to hit the left post, and diverted back into play. Somehow, those instances don't even measure up to the wildest thing that happened in Inter Miami's 2-1 win over Tigres in their Leagues Cup quarterfinal match on Wednesday, Aug. 20. Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano provided one of the quirkiest moments of the Lionel Messi era in Major League Soccer, watching and coaching from the stands in the first row of Section 101 inside Chase Stadium after being ejected. Mascherano was even seen on the Apple TV broadcast talking on his iPhone, seemingly to assistant coach Lucas Rodriguez Pagano on the field while fellow assistant Leandro Stillitano led the club on the sidelines. Mascherano was allowed to watch the match from the stands after being ejected, but not allowed to coach or give instructions, a Leagues Cup media spokesperson announced to media in the press box as the scene unfolded. Due to his red card, Mascherano was not available to speak to the media after the match. He will also be suspended for Inter Miami's match in the Leagues Cup semifinals on either Aug. 26 or 27. It was a scene that would make former New York Mets manager Bobby Valentine proud. Valentine infamously returned to the Mets' dugout in disguise, sporting a mustache, after being ejected during a game on June 9, 1999. Messi watched Wednesday's game from an on-field suite, one level below Mascherano in the stands. Messi was not in action for the quarterfinal match, dealing with a nagging right hamstring injury he reaggravated during a 3-1 win in a regular-season match against the L.A. Galaxy on Aug. 16. Mascherano argued with referees while heading back into the locker room at halftime about players playing past allotted stoppage time at the end of the first half. He was concerned because starting left back Jordi Alba suffered a right knee injury, and Inter Miami tried to finish the first half without making a substitution. Alba lingered on the sidelines before briefly reentering the match for the final minutes of stoppage time. Alba then left the match after trying to start the second half. Suarez scored a penalty in the 23rd minute, then sealed the victory with another penalty kick in the 89th minute. Tigres tied the match at 1 when Argentine World Cup champion Ángel Correa scored in the 67th minute. López nearly sent the match to a penalty shootout with his borderline goal in the 91st minute. When the final whistle blew, Mascherano walked behind a police officer from his seat. He pumped his fist and walked down the stairs into the stadium crowd amongst the fans. Maybe, he'll keep the same seat for next week's Leagues Cup semifinal. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Javier Mascherano red card: Inter Miami coach makes call from stands
