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.

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 did this before coming on here but the hint would have helped.

I almost tried nuder but what is nuder than nude?

Took me a while to narrow it down. I am sure this word has been out in another word game and I think I fell for the same alternative.

I was going nowhere at all with the second word so had to try another letter eliminator at line 5. Luckily, it turned up a couple of crucial letters.

😁I know this is your usual sort of result, countess, but for me this is a red letter day, I broke the 60 barrier!!

It wasn't as easy for me though as some other octordles have been, I had to think about a couple of words. Used a wider range of letters than most times and a couple of new words in there, I think.

I started with TRACE, then SPOIL, and the left word was obvious. After that I used an eliminator (DUNGY) and I had no trouble guessing the right word on row 5.
