WORDLE - anyone else trying the daily online word game?

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 really thought for a moment the good old standby of 'clock' was going to make an appearance in the top right, but my yellows showed it could not be so. It was back to the drawing board!

The first word annoyed me. Time to retire it.

I was worried I was going to miss two of them. Got them on the last gasp.

A few repeats or the types of words we have seen before.

A nice 3.

 

Yes, you had an easier time of it than with yesterday’s, springyzone.

 

I used WHIGS as my second row eliminator.

That first word has certainly made more appearances than expected, purely in the basis of one letter, I think.

Bottom right in particular has been seen oft. With bottom left and bottom right, I knew what they must be after row 3. I knew both top left and top right after row 4.
