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 🤣

After my week, I think I'm going to get one too! Visiting Dr Dan's will probably not help the condition LOL!!

I did actually really struggle with this one. I really thought I was toast, and wasn't going to get it. I didn't want a failure!

I don't know where my brain cells were hiding this morning. I completely wasted my 3rd turn by putting a letter back in the same wrong spot it had been in on my first guess.

The last letter was in a relatively unusual position; once I’d eliminated other positions, it narrowed down what the word must be.

Yes, bit of an unusual word today, though I have to admit, they always choose one in common usage, no obscure words.
