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 have to confess to being a bit sneaky here.😬

After my first 3 guesses, I had some letters showing and I went to look at your results and tried to guess what your first 2 words were, by checking if any of the letters corresponded. They did.  (trace/dingo)

There were no 'new' letters though except in the 4th square, where I thought 'g' must be in it and that was one letter I didn't have showing in my own, so it helped.

And because 'g' was not working in the top right word, that cut out one of the possibles I had in mind.

I'm an idiot. Should have got that 5th word one guess sooner. Too hasty, as usual.

I quickly typed in 'level' when I had already revealed there had to be an 'r' in it.

Go for the sneakiness if ever necessary!

My second row word was LINGO this time, but otherwise you were right.

And… I know. That feeling of “Why didn’t I include the letter that I knew must be somewhere in the word?” At least you did get it all.

I needed to eliminate some letters at row 5, just to be sure about final letter of bottom right, and narrow down possibilities for top right.
