Welcome back to Wordle Wednesday, oh my puzzle solvers! Every Wednesday before we get to Wordle, I give out an extra challenge. Sometimes it’s a riddle, sometimes a brain teaser, sometimes a logic puzzle, or something else entirely. We need to keep a clear head, after all.
Today’s puzzle is a bit strange and I’m curious to see how you all get on:
We deck our halls with it and dye our linens with it. But when it creeps up the cobblestones, we scrub it out as quickly as possible. When it blooms under our skin, we let it bleed out. And when we all collectively realize we’ve gone too far, we cut it off, trample it, sprawl on it, and smother it under our bellies, but it comes back… What is it?
I will post the answer in tomorrow’s Wordle guide. If you found the solution, send me a message at ÞjórsárdalurInstagram or Facebook.

Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot. right here.
SPARE just popped into my head today when I started my guesses. I’ve used it before. It’s a pretty good place to start. Today I was left with 143 solutions. I decided to use the yellow “R” in a new place and try to get a vowel or two. The result was a green “O” and there were still plenty of possible solutions left. I chose TORCH and luckily – with 11 words left – it was the right answer!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three sets and 0 for the draw with the bot. I’ll take that!
How to play competitive Wordle
- If you get a 1, guessing is worth 3 points, if you get a 2, guessing is worth 2 points, if you get a 3, guessing is worth 1 point, if you get a 4, guessing is worth 0 points, if you get a 5, guessing is worth -1 point, if you get a 6, guessing is worth -2 points and missing the Wordle is worth -3 points.
- If you beat your opponent, you get 1 point. If you draw, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add these points together to get your score. Keep a daily score or just play for a new score every day.
- On Fridays you get 2XP, which means you double your points – positive or negative.
- You can keep a running record or just play day by day. Have fun!
Today’s Wordle etymology
The word torch comes from Old French torchwhich referred to a “twisted thing” or a “torch made of tow dipped in wax”. This in turn comes from the Latin word Torcaderived from Torquewhich means “twist”. The root Torque is also the origin of several other English words having to do with twisting or turning, such as “torque” and “contort”.
Originally, the word referred to the twisted shape of the flammable material used in ancient torches. Over time, it came to be applied specifically to portable light sources.
