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 🤣
Solved! Go to Solution.

I struggled again today, but got there in the end. Looking back at my third line, it wasn't even a word!
That’s odd because usually wordle will not let you post invalid words….. 🤔

Back to three.
This was a nice simple one. My second guess flowed naturally to the third guess.

US spelling?

US spelling came up in the news today, Apparently "honor" was a word in January,
My 3rd line word was "altar". Is it even a word? No idea where it came from, but it wasn't meant to be "alter". It must be a word because it doesn't have a line under it in this post. Hmmmmm.......

Sacrificial altar - blood and chanting.

Altar.
The *bench* in a church where the priest prepares the holy communion. (The body and blood of Christ) 😉

The second guess made most possible words IMpossible. It ruled out most letters for the second space because of where the third letter (yellow - right letter, wrong position) could NOT be put. I was stuck on that for a good couple of minutes.

I found todays word was hard. Took me ages to work it out.
But…woohoo……. Got it in 3. I had weird yellow letters which helped, in a way 😉
