Competitive Wordle Players Face Off on 2XP Friday

New York, NY — Competitive Wordle players faced off on 2XP Friday, a challenge that can elevate champions or end in ties. Players anticipated victory, but sometimes matches result in draws, meaning no one wins points.

Today, in a casual match, Erik started with the word ‘CRONE,’ which led to a challenging round, leaving him with 238 possible solutions. The word ‘lever’ was the final answer but came after a tense battle with ‘PERIL,’ which reduced the options to just two: ‘LEVER’ or ‘LEMUR.’

“I was almost sure we had ‘LEMUR’ before, so I went with ‘LEVER’ and that was it! Bangarang!” Erik exclaimed, celebrating his successful guess. However, both he and Wordle Bot tied today, earning zero points.

Your guess strategies can change results on future matches. Each day, Wordle offers a new five-letter word puzzle, and today’s answer was ‘LEVER.’ The game, which is hosted on The New York Times website, encourages players to use hint feedback to guide their guesses.

Wordle’s unique gameplay keeps enthusiasts returning, with an average of 4.6 guesses needed to solve the puzzle. According to the latest stats, today’s puzzle was slightly tougher than previous days.

“I recommend some starter words to help kick things off,” Erik suggested. “They can provide clues and narrow down your options effectively.”

Wordle, created by Josh Wardle in 2013, gained massive popularity after its release in 2021, leading to its acquisition by The New York Times in early 2022. Players can look forward to daily challenges that spark friendly competition among friends.
