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 left bottom left for a couple of rows, just to build up a few more possibles for the other words.

The sticky word has been seen too often.

[springyzone]

I did them all yesterday (on phone) but no chance to transcribe last night, I was too tired.

I do recall these things below about my games.

4 for wordle and from memory, I thought my granddaughter's zebra starter would have worked well yet again. Who would have thought!

Missed one on dordle.

Missed one on quordle too. My last turn, I thought I had it. Typed in cause and answer was sauce. Oh well, we can't get them all!

Octordle-went quite well (for me), got a score of 60.

Today's wordle. Having that first letter from the get go was a big help.

😁I should have read your hint to remind myself!

That first word had so many possibilities and I think I tried them all before getting it. Second word was easy once I looked at what I had.

I have just realised I did the same as you-left the bottom left one go for several turns. I really thought I had it at turn 3, with caret, only to find it was another anagram type word, but I knew what it had to be.

At least I got them all today, unlike yesterday. I think a computer screen helps me see them more clearly. Sometimes!

Not sure how I managed 64 as that first one, it had a few possibilities. I went through cagey, haven and waxen as my last turn but had waken in mind as another possible.

I was lucky with #3. I had all 5 letters, 3 were greens in place, otherwise, to be honest, I don't think this word would have occurred to me.

Previously on Quordle… yes, these words have appeared before.

The challenge with this one is getting the right consonants.
