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 🤣

A couple of times with the RH words, I came close but jumped for the wrong starting letter in both cases. I was really wondering if vigor was making a reappearance, couldn't recall which game it came up in but as we know, words do get reused. At least it was close.

I found 6 & 7 the hardest but 6 has been out a few times before so I tried it.

Yea, Octordle had its moments. I did need an eliminator after solving that first word in block 2 right; that gave me top left which then gave me top right, and so on.

One of my regular starters hit pay-dirt in block 2, right!

But of course I needed some other eliminators at rows 3 and 4.

I used my usual starter word. Whenever I get a U, I always try something with a Q. I've been wanting to try this word for ages, and finally I got to!

This would have to be my best Dordle to date I think. I can sometimes get one word out quick, but usually the other word takes me every go possible.

I didn't think I was going to get top right. Curious as to what your different starter word was Countess?

I got Octordle out again! Was a near miss though.

I did this yesterday on phone and it took me 4 turns too. I can't actually even remember what the answer was though, just that it took 4 tries. I can't post from my phone as I can't remember how to log into ebay from there.

The others, I got them all but in average sort of results. Octordle score was about 65.
