WORDLE - anyone else trying the daily online word game?

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 ๐Ÿคฃ

I also got it in 2 today - and also worked out how to post it here from the clipboard ๐Ÿ˜†

 

Complete luck that I guessed in on the second line.

I was very surprised at the end answer. I doubt many in the US would have got it out today.

I thought I was going to need all 6 goes with this one. Turned out to be quite tricky, and I still have no idea how I came up with that word given my earlier attempts.

13 'popular letters gone after 3 words and I was stumped.  I was staring at the remaining letters and it just popped!

Mine was literally a stab in the dark. I felt sure it was wrong, so was pleasantly surprised when they all turned green. I had a zillion other ideas, but those words contained letters already out in grey.

My first guess was nothing like the answer but the letters I got narrowed things down a lot.

Once I got those 1st 2 letters in place, I couldn't think of anything else it could be except the answer.
