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 🤣

I seem to have misled - it wasn’t a clue, just a comment on Olivia de Havilland and Vivien Leigh (neither of whom are soggy!). I said in passing that they were two beautiful women.

Apologies! If I remember, I will try to mark hints or clues with an asterisk in future.

Please don't apologise!!! Not needed at all. Nor are asterixises (is that plural word even a word? I have a red squiggly line).  It could very easily been me who misunderstood the post!

PS, Olivia was absolutely gorgeous, and continued to be so on her deathbed. Both those women were. Just sad that Vivien didn't get to visit old age like Olivia.

It’s almost 4 am, and there are no soggy ladies about!

I decided to start with a word that had no vowels.

The words were easy enough for me to work out, but only when I did them in hangman format. I can stare at the screen sometimes but the answer leaps out more readily once I tidy it up on paper.

With words 3 to 5, I was starting to get worried as I had not one letter exposed after my first 2 tries. Luckily the 3rd try uncovered some!

Little bit of a plant type theme happening.
