I recently stumbled across WORDLE online. For the uninitiated, it is a daily word guessing game where you have to try to guess the word in 6 or less tries.
https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/
This, from Wikipedia, explains the game:
Every day, a five-letter word is chosen which players aim to guess within six tries. After every guess, each letter is marked as either green, yellow or gray: green indicates that letter is correct and in the correct position, yellow means it is in the answer but not in the right position, while gray indicates it is not in the answer at all. The game has a "hard mode" option, which requires players to include letters marked as green and yellow in subsequent guesses. The daily word is the same for everyone. The game also has a dark mode as well as a high-contrast theme for colourblind accessibility, which changes the color scheme from green and yellow to orange and blue.

This abc news story has some tips for playing:

I have found that most that most days I can get the daily word in 5 tries or less (mostly 5 though). Interestingly, there is a spinoff of WORDLE called LEWDLE, where the words are lewd, or naughty, words. I have better success with LEWDLE than I do with WORDLE . . . getting the word in just 2 or 3 attempts. Not sure what that says about my private school education ๐คฃ
Solved! Go to Solution.

Just as a PS, I have also noticed that although 'e' might be the most used vowel in English, it doesn't crop up in many of the wordles that I have done so far. ๐ค

After getting it first go yesterday (I still can't believe it!), it took me 5 goes today. Probably punishment for yesterday LOL. Yet another getting nothing on the first row. I started off with "great", then line 2 was "could" which gave me the L in position 4.

LOL maybe I jinxed myself with an earlier post. Let's just say this word is the exception to the rule.
Didn't get off to a good start.๐

My worst day! At least I got it in the end. Plus I didn't get the usual grey first line!
