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 🤣

I don't know if the 4 letters I had could have made any other words, but the answer was the only one I could think of with 5 letters.

4 vowels in my first word revealled nothing, so had to find a word with the absent vowel for my second word.

I guessed the first word only because I had some letter placement plus 4 known letters & the immortal K1000's words kept coming back to me when I could make nothing, so I tried it because it looked like it should be a word.

After I made it, I looked up the meaning. Not a commonly used word, or at least I don't imagine so.

My biggest thrill was getting that bottom right word. I only had 2 letters but I thought, let's try this out. Use and reuse, as they say.

We have seen some of the words but it felt like a fairly fresh puzzle.

I had an idea of the first word much earlier but left it till last.

Probably should have been able to work it out in 3 but nothing was occurring to be.

Springyzone, 4 is a good score. It really does come down to luck as well as good starter and eliminator choices.

My eliminator was PYOID.

The gods weren't on my side today! 😂

The green that I got in the second word usually on'y has a few letters that would ever go before it and 2 of them had already been eliminated. So I had a good idea of what the starting letter would be and also where my yellow might fit in, but even so, it took me 5 today.

It's a word we have seen come up in the other word puzzles.
