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.

Quordle - just got it! That last word was a hard one to get (top right).

4 tries for Wordle today. I’m not entirely pleased but it wasn’t possible for me to guess the word sooner, given the letters that I chose.

Satisfactory. I did have to be scrupulous in writing down and crossing out word possibilities after getting word #1, but once I had word #2, I felt more comfortable and could zip through the remaining two.

It’s not too bad; I had to make a “find some other letters” guess in line 4, but once I did that, word #2 was easy to see.

This was satisfactory. Word #1 was surprisingly challenging but I hunted it down and stuck its head on my wall.

Funny, I struggled with the first word. Looking at the second word, I still have no idea how I got that. It was purely a guess! Then when I got the first word, I thought to myself, are you serious? How did you not see that!

I should have got this in 3, but once again went against my gut feeling. Still, it's not a fail!

My Octordle strategy includes using as many letters (esp vowels) in the first 3 guesses as possible so that I’m in a good position to gallivant through the words from 4 onwards. Occasionally I might need another letter elimination guess.
