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.

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 🤣

I came across this article over the weekend, with a few more variations to try.

Four again for me today. I was initially worried I was getting a grey first line again, but the last letter saved me!

This pretty much confirms to me it is much easier if you can manage to work out that first letter.

Well, a little easier anyway! Sometimes.😄

I thought I'd try my first 3 words method on Wordle.  I didn't use the letter I got in the first word when I put in my second.  Having all 5 letters after two words helps greatly.

(Both 3 word combos would give all 5 letters after 2 words)

@countess…..

I have 2 iPads and my mobile and I play this on either one.  So, when I played game 246 twice, obviously, it didn’t show as completed, as I was using a different device. 
BUT….. the word was different because I played it first up, and it didn’t ‘solve’ 😉

Go figure 🤔

I play these on my iPhone, not on the computer, no matter whether I’m home or elsewhere. I haven’t tried it on my iPad …

I can see that multiple Wordle-using devices would end up confusing!

Anyway, from the depths of the night, here’s my Quordle result:

By going for completely different letters in the second line, I nailed it in the 3rd. (Macabre humour.)
