In the long tradition of games that teach us something about ourselves, the New York Times has introduced WordleBot — a quiet analytical companion that sits beside the now-ubiquitous daily word puzzle and asks not merely whether you won, but how honestly you earned it. Launched in April 2022, the tool reflects a broader human curiosity: not just to play, but to understand the quality of our own thinking. In separating luck from skill, WordleBot holds up a mirror that some players may find more revealing than the puzzle itself.
