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 ๐คฃ

Countess, getting it in 4 is my normal I think. I had to laugh where you say it knocked you off your perch.
I figure I've done my job if I get it before the 6 tries run out.๐
Veiled lady, fantastic when that happens and it isn't as if you had had much input for the word either!

Vowel elimination took a while for this one. After try #4, I had it narrowed down to 4 possible words. I tried the first of my 4 possibles, and although it was wrong, it eliminated all other possibilities and I knew which word would be the answer.
Butโฆ 5 tries!

That is also satisfactory.
Generally speaking, one is unlikely to do better than guessing the lot within 11 guesses. If I can get a good spread of letters within the first three tries, and work out at least one word on the 4th try, I can set to with a will and a good hope of working through the rest.

After my 3rd turn, almost every word I could think of that would fit was 'out' because of previously eliminated letters.
