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 🤣

Elimination word at line 8 was useful in narrowing down the word possibilities. I’m happy with that.

Quite nicely flowing. I had a sense of familiarity with some of the words, though, and I wonder if the list from which the words are generated is possibly too limited.

They are getting cunning. As you can see, I managed to get a few letters in the first couple of tries and a word jumped out at me but alas, the first letter wasn't the correct one. Luckily I got it next try. But here's the thing, I could easily have missed it or taken another 3 or 4 turns because there were several possibilities.

Countess, I have noticed with surprise that some of the same words have come up on different games. I can't recall them all but I think chant was one and sonic was another.

There must be a few thousand 5 letter words and even without picking obscure ones, there shouldn't be a need to see the same one pop up, even on different games, within the year, or I wouldn't have thought so.

I was reasonably happy with this because the same thing applied-several choices and not always the obvious one was right.

I thought I'd try the octordle.

If you want a real challenge though there's nothing quite like trying to fit the pieces of a family tree together!

I couldn't edit to add this to the post above-it says I exceeded 20,000 characters. It obviously wasn't impressed with my octordle.😄
