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 🤣

Looking back, I could probably have dumped my row 4 eliminator word… but I felt I needed it at the time to rule out certain letters.

With two words left to solve, I needed an eliminator.

Good grief, another zebra moment. I am starting to think my little Maya is on the something.😂

I missed one completely, there were a couple of possibilities and I went with the animal.

These mainly flowed pretty well today, after the 3 eliminators.

But there are always a couple of words where they only throw up 2 or 3 letters.

The only thing that solved the 3rd word for me was the fact it has been out a couple of times before and I had 2 yellow letters, 'in' showing next to each other, which gave me ideas.

Knowing that second letter placement really cut down a lot of options after my 3rd try.

I felt really pleased with today's dordle. Not often I can say that!

Really, how often do we have to have that bottom right word? As soon as I saw the green starting letter, I could guess what it would be.

The hardest one for me was the bottom left. The last 2 letters make for a somewhat unusual ending.

I started well then got a bit bogged down.

What's with that word # 6?

Has it got some meaning I am missing? I just thought it was a proper name so I was looking for alternatives for a while but I think it has been out before, too.
