As more readers have made WordleBot part of their day, we’ve updated it with new features and improvements. If you haven’t used the bot before, it analyzes how skillful and lucky you are in solving each Wordle. Many of our updates are based on your suggestions, so thanks for sharing your comments. Here’s what’s new:

See more people’s guesses, in more detail

Part of the fun of WordleBot is seeing how other players solve the puzzle, and now you’ll be able to see even more of that. The bot’s charts will show you more guesses from other players each round and display how common each guess was. You’ll also see more guesses from players who faced the same situation as you each round, and we’re analyzing a larger sample of Wordles for each situation, too.

View and compare your past WordleBot scores

One of the most common reader requests is to view the bot’s analysis for past Wordles. Now, for up to the past 90 days, you’ll be able to review each of your past WordleBot scores, and you can ask the bot to analyze past Wordles it hadn’t analyzed before. (The bot is always learning, so your score may be slightly different than when you first saw it.)

For the bot to view your Wordle history, you’ll need a New York Times account that’s linked to your Wordle statistics; if you haven’t done that yet, link it now to start recording your games.

WordleBot also now calculates a rolling 14-day average of your recent scores, so you can see how your luck, skill and steps have compared with other Times readers and the bot itself. If you have a hunch you’ve done better than other players and even the bot lately, now you’ll have the proof.
