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 🤣

The last word (bottom right) could have been a few things. I only chose the word I did choose because it’s been used before, and the letters were less usual then the other possibilities.

------------------

I syhould have read all your post more carefully. Even by guess 6, I only had 2 letters for the last word and the next 2 words were elimination words to get rid of letters. I really thought I would get it on go #8 but if I had taken in your hint about less usual, I would have done better.

We live and learn.

As usual, more than one possibility and I chose the wrong one.

That’s still a good result, springy one.

Ye, I try to include subtle hints in my posts without giving it away completely. The last few days have thrown some curveball words …

No cheeses were harmed in this post - but I think I'm going to raid the fridge and take a slice of brie.

Oh for the love of God, or whatever deity you pray to, send me some Brie!! My fridge is devoid of all cheese, except some Peccorino (that's not the correct spelling, and I'm not going to the fridge to check). It doesn't do well having slabs on biscuits. I have never had so little cheese in my fridge. I should be ashamed of myself. 

Spoiler

Yes, I'm ashamed of myself. Sue me, I had to work. Grrrrrr!

Spoiler

I want cheese NOW!!!

[countessalmirena]

I will seriously be happy to send you some brie.

I adore cheese! My fridge contains:

Red Leicester

Buffalo mozzarella

Greek feta

Goat's cheese

Camembert

Double brie (not much left)

Aged cheddar

Sage derby

Parmegiano reggiano

Wensleydale

Washed rind - Germain epoisses

Roquefort (well, barely a crumble left)

Now, which of these can I spare...? Not that one... no, not that... definitely not that...

Hmm. It appears that I am out of cheese.
