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 ๐Ÿคฃ

Top right was one that I only figured out because I'd tried the letters almost everywhere else. I think it may have been out before at some time too.

Yes, I know, by the skin of my teeth. Had a couple of false starts.

I did do it yesterday on my phone and got a score of 59 but you know how it is, one day a rooster and the next a feather duster.๐Ÿ˜‚  That's me today.

Top right, no idea what that word means, but given the few letters I had left, that word was the only one that didn't turn red after multiple different tries.

Excellent result!

 

 

The right-hand word in Quordle, by the way, is from Jewish folklore. The idea is that itโ€™s made of clay and brought to life by a Hebrew word being written on its forehead. (The word for โ€œtruthโ€ is the typical one.)

 

(A version is used in Terry Pratchettโ€™s Discworld novels, most thoroughly in Feet of Clay.)

Re: WORDLE - anyone else trying the daily online word game?

Woe is me.  This really had me stumped for ages.

It didn't get off to a good start and when I finally did get a few letters, I could only work out what it could be by trying every remaining unused letter.

American spelling. Not how I visualise the word at all.
