WORDLE - anyone else trying the daily online word game?

[k1ooo-slr-sales]

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.

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 🤣

That’s how it played out for me. The biggest question was: is the third letter a consonant or vowel?

All the vowels confused me today, but still happy for a 4.

3 is my best effort so far.

For those doing Lewdle, but finding it hard to think of 5 letter 'lewd' words, you can now change your settings to use non-lewd words to work out some more letters/placements. It's called 'Sheltered mode' in settings.

You still need to get to the lewd word solution, but can use regular words in getting there.

I was helped today by the fact I had a vowel but in the wrong spot. Then second guess, it was in the wrong spot again but I then knew 3 places it couldn't be and a 4th place it would be unlikely.

So much hinges on getting at least a couple of letters to work with in that first guess.

This was quite tricky. The first letter of the answer was only guessed by me in the 3rd try (but in wrong spot). Had I gone for the other letter it could have been in that 3rd try, it would have taken me at least 5 attempts.

When Denyse Holt failed to post her daily Wordle score, her daughter knew something must be wrong.

Hours later a police SWAT team rescued the 80-year-old Chicago woman from a naked home intruder who had been holding her hostage with a pair of scissors.

Ms Holt's eldest daughter Meredith Holt-Caldwell, who lives in Seattle, first twigged that something was amiss when her mother did not send her daily Wordle score.
