Competitive Wordle players, it's double points Friday. This is the moment you've been waiting for – to tackle today's challenge and earn those precious points. To begin, we'll dive into the solution of today's Wordle.
For those who missed yesterday's guide, check out our previous article on how to solve Thursday's Wordle.
In addition to today's main Wordle, there's also a bonus 7-letter word with each daily guide. This custom word is an extra challenge for you, but don't worry – we've got hints and the answer right here.
The hint for today's Wordle is simple: like a canyon. Again. The clue says that the word ends in a vowel. We also know yesterday's custom Wordle answer was RAVINE.
So, let's get started! Our starting word for today is BLADE. We have 111 words left to guess and two yellow boxes – time to juggle our vowels with CATER or possibly even RACER. After the fact, I discovered that PACER could also be a valid option.
Now that we've solved today's Wordle, let's look at the competitive scores.
Wordle Bot's starting word was SLATE, and my guess was BLADE – which earned me 93 "Skill" points from Wordle Bot. However, after two yellow boxes, I opted for CATER or RACER. Unfortunately for Wordle Bot, it fell short by just one guess. So, I scored a point, while the Bot lost – giving me a total of four points and the Bot -2.
The rules for Competitive Wordle are as follows:
- 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 point; and guessing in 6 is -2 points. Missing the Wordle results in a score of -3.
When you beat your opponent, you get 1 point. If you tie, you receive 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you gain -1 point. Keep track of your daily scores or play for a new score each day – enjoy!

i was thinking of trying out SLATE as my starting word but blade is a solid choice too lol i love how wordle bot fell short by one guess tho, my score of 4 points is pretty sweet 
the bonus 7-letter word is such a fun extra challenge, i've been trying to solve it all day 
The thing is, I'm not even mad at Wordle Bot for losing -3 points lol it's all about that competitive spirit 
gotta feel for wordle bot tho it was so close! i personally think 111 words is a pretty low amount of tries, seems like the game should be able to handle more than that 
and what's up with the scoring system? -2 points for guessing in 6 feels way too harsh 
I'm not surprised they're offering double points today... it's always a nail-biter when the stakes are high. 111 words to guess is still pretty challenging, but I think BLADE was a solid starting point. I love that they gave hints about the custom 7-letter word too - PACER being a possible answer is awesome! 
and of course i wanna take down that Wordle Bot - they've been giving me a hard time all week 
my score was like 4 points and theirs was -2 lol what a day 
i've been playing this game every day and it's so hard to get those double points but its soooo worth it 
but idk i guess its all about the strategy n stuff 
I'm not gonna lie, I'm getting a bit old for this competitive Wordle nonsense. Back in my day, we didn't need all these rules and scores to have fun. We'd just sit around, solve the puzzle, and see who got there first. Now it's all about beating that bot and earning points... what happened to the joy of playing? 
.
what's the point of even using yesterday's custom word as a hint though 
i mean, wouldn't that be kinda cheating 
and btw, why does wordle bot use SLATE as its starting word 
gotta keep those points up 
! I get that it's all about the points, but can't you guys just chill for one day? 
Like, calm down because you're about to beat your bot and earn those 4 precious points... 
. it's always fun to see how far you can get with the right strategy. btw, has anyone tried using all the vowels at once? that seems like a pretty solid tactic 
. And it looks like competitive Wordle players are taking a major detour today to tackle that double points Friday challenge
