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 🤣

I’m satisfied with that, even though I made one wrong choice in try #6. (Two possible words differing by one letter.) There were a lot of different letters over the right words, and not as much overlap as one would hope, so… I did reasonably well to get this result.

springy, yes… I agree that it looks very messy.

This is my attempt to clean up the appearance of my Octordle results. By using a table, I've at least been able to line up the results for each word, although the blocks still do not render as the same size.

(I also took the opportunity to clean up the HTML code, by using HTML entities for the squares.)

It's probably too much work for me to do for every result I post, though...

Once again, I had the choice of 2 words in my head. This time I went with my first thought. My gut feeling. This time I was once again wrong, because it was the other answer! Still, I'm happy with 3.

Countess, in all honesty, I only look at the blue numbers at the top for other folks results anyway.

My usual starting word really paid off. The position of the yellow letters also eliminated some word possibilities, and that helped to cut down the possibilities for the 1 letter I didn’t have in my first guess.

The correct word wasn’t the only possibility, but it was and away the most likely possibility.

Two possibilities for the first letter of word top right… and I chose the wrong one first. Ah well.
