Word analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot here.

This one really surprised me, even though I guessed the ‘O’ right away. FLOAT left me with a whopping 270 remaining possible solutions, and SPINE only reduced that number to 37. Ouch. GOURD felt like a logical next guess – I had to exclude the ‘U’ after all – but apparently there were still five words left. I could only think of two: HOBBY and MOM and I chose the wrong one. Apparently others like COCKY were options, so I think I got lucky even in five. Huzza?

The word ‘mama’ is a diminutive of ‘mother’, which itself is a variant of ‘mother’. The root “mother” comes from the Old English word modorwhich is derived from Proto-Germanic mother and Proto-Indo-European morewhich means ‘mother’. “Mommy” became common in the 19th century as a childish or affectionate way of referring to the mother, similar to how “daddy” is used for “father.” It reflects the tendency in many languages ​​to use doublings or diminutives when addressing parents in an endearing manner.
