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 🤣

Used my usual start word and then got a word in my head with the 2 yellows. I nearly used the second letter as a T, but went with N out of respect for vegans.

I didn't do too bad today with this. Initially I wasn't sure if I'd even come close, but then the letters fell into place.

I could - thankfully - see what was going on with the vowel situation for left word, after row 4.

Two possibilities for that last word (bottom right), and I chose the incorrect one first, darn it…

Haha! Mine was a one off yesterday.

Today I thought I might never get it.

I had sorted out the vowel situation after turn 3, which made the second word easy to guess.

Took me quite a while to work out what on earth it could be. Uses some of the more unusual letters.

That first word had me stumped. I eventually used a word I knew it couldn't be, just because it was all I could come up with.

The bottom right came easily as I had a lot of letters plus I think it has been out before.

Bottom left was just a stab at a word that could fit and I was a bit surprised when it paid off.
