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 notice you got all your words faster than I did, but I felt quite happy with this round. I used 3 starter words and that gave me all the letters in the top right. The only false step I took was for the last word where I thought, Don't tell me it is jelly again!  But it wasn't, and knowing where that bottom yellow then had to go made it easier.

Today's octordle was very satisfactory. I always start with 3 eliminators, which means I basically can't solve it all in under 11 turns, but after those first starter words, it flowed easily from one word to another.

That 6th word always reminds me of the JFK assassination, for some reason.

I almost dropped the hint of which you’re thinking, springyzone!

The grassy knoll.

It seems no one can ever think of any other way to describe it!

I would have guessed a more interesting word, had it not been for the final letter in my row 2 eliminator being a “no”.

Sometimes the trickiest words are those where you’re left wondering about whether the same letter is used.

Took me a while to get that first word. Right to the brink.
