Tomorrow begins the CrossFit Open and the 1st workout with 2 or 3 exercises or movements are probably being performed. But the workout is hidden in a Wordle puzzle.
There are always some type of clues for these workouts, but this is a first time that the clue(s) are hidden in a Wordle puzzle and I’ve not played Wordle before.
Reddit can’t seem to figure it out, so I was hoping the really smart folks here could help. I believe the full workout will be published by Noon tomorrow, Thursday 2/24. Here it is:
BTW, “22.1” just means it’s 2022 and the 1st (.1) workout of the Open.
Start by typing in a word with common letters first. Then you can eliminate those letters and try something else. Because it’s exercise related, I’d start with a word like PRESSES.
In Wordle, I usually start with TEARS or STARE
How do you get an “E” when there are no E’s?
I see “BURP,” which could mean “Burpees.” But there are no E’s.
I thought the yellow meant there was an E and that the black were the letters you already tried?
That’s the given puzzle from CF corporate. I didn’t do a thing to it. I have not played before and I don’t know the rules.
I thought yellow meant there is one or more Es but not in first position, and black means those letters were guessed in the first two attempts and are not present.

Typically, there will be 2 or 3 movements in a workout. They’re called “couplets” or “triplet,” but they probably wouldn’t use the word “workout.”
No rules? The way Wordle works is that it tells you if you have a letter correct and also if it’s in the right or wrong place.
That was my assumption as well.
I think presses and burpees are still in the running…

Honestly, I have no clue. I just know the exercises that may or may not be in an Open workout.
If someone could figure it out 
, then a friend and I can begin practicing the workout tonight and strategize it. We’re trying to make the top 10% worldwide in our age groups and move on to the next level.
And those could be movement possibilities for sure.
The first workout in the Open is usually one that most of the CF’ers can do. And those are two exercises most everyone can do. So, definitely possibilities.
If you give us a list of words that might be in the workout we could tell you which ones fit and which ones do not. But the solution to a wordle is just one word so does that really give you the whole workout? I hope we can help.
Snatch or snatches
Cleans
Pull-ups
Pistol
Squat
Overhead
DU or double unders
KB or kettlebell swings
Clusters
Is that because of the 3rd row?
I can’t get any of those to fit in…needs to be 7 letters, with one or more Es but not starting with an E, and lacking YHJNZA. That’s assuming we are interpreting the picture correctly…
ETA forgot the A so added it to eliminated letter list
