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 🤣

Once I hit my stride, it flowed smoothly.

Block 3, right, is popping up here too???? That is frustrating.

I needed an eliminator at row 6.

I didn't get to do any of them yesterday. My daughter asked me to go to the show with her to help with the grandkids. Totally exhausting and in bed by 9pm.

But I tried wordle this morning and was pleasantly surprised to get it in 3, not my usual results at all as I tend to take 4 or 5 lately.

I was lucky to have most of the letters for both words fairly early on.

This was probably better than my usual effort. I hestitate to say I am on a roll as octordle looms undone!

It was unusual in that it had a certain double letter repeated 3 times.

This was about as good as it gets for me in octordle. I was lucky as the words I tried were'it', so I didn't have false starts as I usually do.

Haven't seen most of these words lately, although I think sdome have been out before in the past.

At first I thought it was going to be a Maths & writing fest.

I’m glad that I used DOILY as my second word.

The only question here was… did the left word end with THIS or with THAT? It could have been a 5/3 result, very easily…

Top right had two possibles at the time that I made my guess; I opted to go for the live word rather than the strike.

It was only after guessing that top right that I could guess bottom right.

I see what you mean about the maths and writing!

The smell of a cooked breakfast, a crazy friend, and the worship of communication also came into play.
