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.

Glad to be home at last on my computer for the link. Been doing wordle on my phone the last couple of days but the NY times one. Didn't make a wonderful start but got there in the end.

ambercat, you were facing the same dilemma as I. See what I did to minimise my guesses…?

My first failure tonight. The 4th letter could have easily as been one of many. I picked the wrong 4 after getting the other 4 letters on my first 2 goes. I do now know the 4th letter and the correct word.

You were unlucky, tipping-point. There were more possibilities than there were turns.

My positively evil (😁) son has just introduced me to QUORDLE which plays four games of wordle at once - with nine tries.
I've tried it once and managed - just - to get all four, but I'm thinking I might quit while I'm ahead.......my brain hurts😩

Hmmm.
This Wordle go doesn’t give me the same feeling. Have they changed it?
