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 🤣

Not brilliant but got there.

That's it for the day, expecting an inundation of grandkids soon for an overnight stay.

My first thought on line 3 was the actual answer, but I went with a slightly different word thinking it would be more likely that. Note to self, go with the gut!!

When you forget about the yellow letter in the first  box! My guess on the second line didn't include the yellow letter on the first line.

Got in with 2 minutes to spare! I thought I was done, especially as I accidentally shut that window down. This particular browser doesn't do reopen closed tabs. Thankfully, my game was still active when I opened a new tab.
