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 have an eight year old granddaughter and she likes to sit with me and try wordle unlimited.

She understands exactly how it works but her weakness is being able to think of 5 letter words to fit.

I always let her pick a starting word and it is usually zebra. I was just thinking, this is one of the rare occasions where zebra would have paid off.😁

This had VERY familiar words.

I knew the top left word immediately, but wanted some more letters to help make the whole thing run smoothly.

Well, we both managed to get Octordle in 11 rows.

s_and_d, the z words are thrown in every now and then to keep us in our toes… I have noticed that every time a word could be GAUGE, it’s not.

The room feels warm, and twice my senses have been drawn out of sleep’s engulfing embrace…

A few Wordle-type things might help, or I may even have a pre-dawn sherry. I’d have a coffee if I didn’t think it would wake the household.

Anyway… Wordle had a main word.

My final row was a guess; it could have been two other possible words gauging by the remaining letters. I partly based my guess on the fact that it had appeared before on these Wordle games.

For top left, I only had two yellow tiles… but one was a letter that would mostly be used in the final letter position. There was an unused letter which would fit and give me an oft-appearing Wordle word, so I made that guess; it paid off.

After the 2nd turn, I had 4 letters and was tempted to try another eliminator as nothing immediately sprang to mind & I am a bit impatient at times, but I forced myself to think about it.
