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 🤣

😅Not to me. The words weren't hard but I found the RH word had too many possibilities.

I know it looks as if I started with one of your eliminators as our first line looks identical, but I didn't.

I was lucky. I could have gone 2 ways with the starting letter of the first word but luckily chose the correct one.

Yes, I enjoyed it too.

I had that 7th word solved (on paper) after turn 3 but decided to wait as it just didn't make sense to me. But It was all it could be and I just now googled meaning and I can see it now in context.  All becomes clear. At the time though, all I could think of was how can you unmeet someone?

No idea how I got this in two! The 4th letter I was tempted to use a C, but my gut said go with an N.

WAY better than normal on Quordle. Usually I'm down to the last row, but still had 2 rows left!

Probably should have used an eliminator at turn 3 to cut down the possibilities, but never mind.

I was lucky to get all these. I started off well with the top word but got caught up again trying to solve that bottom left and wasted a few turns.

That 4th one (second right) I would not have thought of except I had all letters and 3 in place. It isn't a rare word as such but not one that would have jumped into my mind.

Beware word 8, American spelling.

Not a bad octordle, a bit more variety.

As usual, a red one. I wouldn't have got that one in a million years, even with so few letters left.

You did great on wordle, only needed half as many turns as I did. I didn't think I would ever get it.

That red one you got in octordle, I only solved as I had all the letters but I tried 'equip'. Took me ages to scramble them again into the right answer.😃
