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 🤣

Once I’d played row 3, the only hitch was with top right. I had a choice between a flower and a colour. I chose correctly but it could easily have gone the other way.

Nothing new here… Once again a US spelling that I don’t like, and a question of two types of embarrassment or something very huggable.

I made a good start but then had to work on the last few!  I tried loading quordle results but the systerm won't let me-says flooding & over so many letters or whatever.

Those Octordles where things hit a snag part of the way through can be exasperating!

Today’s Wordle is a weird result for me. I used a rearrangement of one of my oft-played starters, and it gave me a good start.

Well…! After the second row, I knew both words - quite unmistakably.

I won’t hint at the words; today they are not tricky at all.

A standard 4-5-6-7 Quordle. Once I’d guessed top left, I could go ahead and complete bottom right.

No new words, but it was quite well done to avoid a sense of “Same old, same old.”

Oh the walk of shame for me today!

As you can see, I was on the trail. I won't say 'hot' on the trail. LOL.

I really thought I had it in 3, I was feeling quite chirpy, then what? Not that? Oh it must be this next one then? 

No? Ah, I bet they got tricky and reused a letter that is already in the word.

And so it went.🤔
