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 🤣

The top left had me scratching my head for a minute.

I had 3 yellow letters and suspected they might go at the start of the word but every combo I could think of for the end two was 'out' because some of the letters had already been eliminated.

Took me a moment or two to work out what they must have done.

Some of these are tricky in that there are anagrams. A couple are repeat performers and I think that helped me think... hmm, let's try.... etc

I was more fortunate with that top left word. I had all of the letters after row 2, including a green tile.

My row 5 eliminator also ruled out one of the two possible consonants starting bottom right.

That soil has come up too often! And let us dump the snake after so many appearances…

It doesn't matter now as I can't even recall what word it was, but I think I meant top right.

Slow going for a while. Those yellows were me trying the same letter in different spots, without a lot of success till turn 4.

And a very American type word again.

I have a vague feeling it has ben out before in one of the games though and I think I got caught with the same wrong guess beforehand.

I had to resort to hangman format and suddenly the left hand word jumped out at me and it helped me to mark where the letters couldn't be with the second.

Yes… this was quite difficult to guess for such an innocent cheerful word…

Only just got it. I only solved that second one because I had eliminated most letters by then.
