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 🤣

Nothing too hard here. After my first 3 eliminators, I found it flowed fairly smoothly.

We've got the little house in the woods popping up again and a couple of other familiar friends, but also a couple of new ones I think.

At least two new words.

After 7am and no countess results! I hope this means you slpet well last night.

I decided to try a more whimsical starter today, pretty sure at least one letter would be a no go (which it was), but I was shocked to find the end 3 came out! Second guess was a vowel eliminator. It didn't reveal a vowel but I had one still unused so figured that had to be it.

Very lucky with dordle to have most or all letters show up fairly early.

I actually decided to have fun and use one of your starters.

I was actually surprised to get this as I thought I had run out of turns but I had one try left.

It was the first word that caused me grief as I had everything except that first letter and I think I tried every alternative but the answer was the last one I tried. Of course.

Took me a little bit longer than usual to do octordle. I had 3 eliminators but needed another at turn 5.

One of the words had no vowels at all.

springyzone, I only managed two hours of sleep... but I'll catch up for a couple of hours at least in about an hour. (Emergency call-out.)

My cat is ignoring his actual food and begging for some of my breakfast. Cat behaviour - a mystery.

DOILY was my second eliminator.

After row 2, I knew that the left word was 1 of 2 possibilities (with only the last letter in doubt, and I’d eliminated 2 of the 4 possibles in row 2(, and I knew what the right word must be.
