XXX has wored its way to the number one in Florida.

"wored" was not found in my dictionary.

Discussion

Rowan Morrell Feb 6, 2004:
I think the correct word in English might be "wormed". No idea what this would be in Japanese though (which is why I'm not posting this as an answer), but maybe it will put you on the right track.

I tried about 10 dictionaries, but could not find the word, but I think it could be "worked out" from sample phrased found in Google search.
Example from Google match:
1. We have wored out two truly bolt-on kits
2. Once I get his kinks wored out i'll continue to take him where he usually does it.
3. When I loosed the chain tighter a little bit I noticed that the chain could be shiftet quite easily over the bottom chain wheel so the tighter foto kettingspanner must be in a bad shape or is on it's end because the chain itself is wored out.
4. This wored out to a cost per appointment of $225
5. Elfwood artist: Hannah *Spirit Keeper* Gamble, No, I think it wored out really well.

Try search more phrased including wored out by Google.

Hope it will be of any help

Thank you for your comment.
neutral Miho Campbell : I think that "wored" is a typo and it meant to be "worked"(〜になった) or "wormed"(〜に這い上がった).

disagree Evan GEISINGER : #1 clearly seems to be uneducated/nonstandard English (or just erroneous) for the correct past participle "worn"

Typos corrected to [worn] [worked]

1. We have wored out two truly bolt-on kits
======> "worn" is almost certainly the correct past participle that was intended.
2. Once I get his kinks wored out i'll continue to take him where he usually does it.
======> "worked": "Work out the kinks" means to perfect or finalize something that is nearing completion/acceptability.
3. When I loosed the chain tighter a little bit I noticed that the chain could be shiftet quite easily over the bottom chain wheel so the tighter foto kettingspanner must be in a bad shape or is on it's end because the chain itself is wored out.
========> COMPLETELY hideous, with incorrect spellings and non-English words (shiftet==>shifted; loosed==>loosened)... but "wored" seems clearly to mean "worn"
4. This wored out to a cost per appointment of $225
========> Typo for "worked" or "works": "works out to" means "keisan shite miru to [....] to naru"
5. Elfwood artist: Hannah *Spirit Keeper* Gamble, No, I think it wored out really well.
========> "worked": "it worked out [well/OK]" means kekkyoku no tokoro, umaku ikimashita.

worked

I _could_ be a typo" for "wormed" but it seems more likely that the more common "worked" is what was intened: "XXX has worked its way [up]to the number one in Florida." sounds incorrect or non-native only because there should be no "the" before "number one."

Worked it's way up to #1 ==> Toutou ichi-i ni noboritsuikimashita.

"Work [my/your/his/her/its] way [up/dwon/over/accross/<NOTHING>] to" simply means "expended effort for a while and moved in steps [until arriving at that point]"
