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 🤣

Again I had a really good start with a couple of the words.

It happened again. Pure luck and nothing else! I have no idea why I picked that word, but it jumped into my head.

I've actually forgotten what the word was today.😶

But congrats.

You must have the second sight, isn't that supposedly Scottish ancestry?😀

First time playing this one. Not bad for my first go. One has to be careful because when you paste the results, the answers are there.

I wouldn't say I have second sight. Pure luck and nothing else. If I had second sight, I'd be getting it first go every day.

I do come from Scottish bloodlines (amongst others). I also own a small patch of land in Scotland, which allows me to use the title "Lady".

I was thinking “Not bad”,  but then read of your 1st-guess-gets-it adventure, tipping-point. Aaaghgh! Please pass on some of that “luck virus”!

Word 2 was an inevitable guess because of the letters I’d already guessed, and there was really no other word it could be. Otherwise I think it would have held me up. Word 1 is one of those words where, if you don’t have the first letter, you’d be trying several possibilities. Word 3 was the trickiest. I carefully went through every possibility on a piece of paper, but I was definitely helped by already knowing one letter I’d guessed as a yellow letter (right letter, wrong place) couldn’t be the first letter, and the vowel had to be in a certain position.
