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 🤣

You weren't wrong about that last word on right.

Even once I had solved the other 3, I still only had one letter for that word. And that letter was a vowel.

That left me though with not a huge number of consonants to choose from. I felt it was likely the word would end in 'y'. And have a double letter somewhere.  Unfortunately boggy didn't solve it.

I then decided not to go with booby.😂

My second row eliminator worked out perfectly. Stealth is advised.

Word on the left was not immediately obvious. There were several first letter possibilities. I used an eliminator at row 3, which left only one possibility.

Back to the old 4-5-6-7.

It’s all about the best covering for playing in the sun.

Beware - one of the words has US spelling.

I felt a good deal of uncertainty after getting the bottom left word. I really thought I’d have to use another eliminator… and in the end just tried a word that fit the top left… and it turned out to be correct. I was able to go on from there.

😄Oh happy day!

After my first word, I suspected the yellow could only fit in the second spot and in that case, there was pretty much only one consonant or possibly some vowels that could go in first place. The vowels didn't lead anywhere but the consonant did straight off.

The first word, I had a stab at it as I had a fair few letters.

I was happy with this as I think it is equal with my personal best.

The first word, I jumped in with funny and it was a wrong call.
