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.

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 🤣

Lucky guess given I only had 2 yellows. I wasn't even sure I'd get to Wordle today because I worked this morning, and have family here tonight from the city. The country air kicked their butts, so went to bed and I decided to Wordle after having my shower and before heading to bed myself.

All that effort thinking of a good possible words after my first turn, rather than using any more eliminators. I was so proud of the 3rd word, but alas, another false lead!

More of my eliminators after the first one would not have solved it any quicker as it starts with a letter that isn't usually included in mine.

Discover what vowels are in it asap. That will narrow the LH word. It is a word we see pop up fairly regularly. The right one has been out before too.

Let's face it, any day I can break the 60 barrier is a red letter day for me!😁

So I am happy with this but have to admit, I had a feeling of deja vu for most of the words.

My starter for Wordle today was that which one does after sleeping.

I was very tempted to make a guess at row 2, but I wanted to eliminate some possibilities rather than play the word which came to mind. So… my eliminator was a youngling… and I should have gone with gut instinct!

My eliminator included a letter usually not found in the middle, which helped considerably. The only vowel I’d not yet played did not fit what I already had, so I discounted it from consideration.

In the end, the word on the right could have been a flower… or a way of binding. I made my choice and was correct. Sometimes it’s luck.

Top right… there was no way to foresee which of several possibilities would be the answer. I made a guess, which was wrong, but it did at least rule out other possibles.

I was concerned when I only got one yellow. I think the US gamers will struggle with this one.

I needed to solve block 2 right before doing top right (aka block 1 right). It’s that pesky first letter that held things up.
