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

The top left that gave you pause was the first one I was able to solve, mainly because after my 3 eliminators, I had the letters s t i f exposed, with i in position. My hardest one was the second one (top right).
Right down to turn 8, I only had one letter exposed, then by turn 10 I had 2 more. But luckily it is a word we have seen before.

Oopsโฆ I meant top right. Only a yellow A tile in 3rd position, and yellow Y tile in 5th position.

Ah, I see. I think, from memory, it was 'a' I had exposed too. Must have been as I had all vowels covered after 3 turns. I also (eventually) had a yellow Y tile in 5th position and you're right, we are building up a little list if familiar words they use where Y is not at the end.

Another personal best here as it only took 2 turns. Lucky first turn, especially as it revealed the starting letter.
Also, they seem to like these 'sorts' of words a lot.
