WORDLE - anyone else trying the daily online word game?

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 ๐Ÿคฃ

Quite difficult. Most of these words required me to think about composition on the basis of letters that might be part of the specific word, without much anchoring in the way of green tiles.

Luck was clearly on my side tonight. When I got the 2 greens, I pondered for a bit. I tossed up between the word with an F or an L. L jumped out at me, so I went for it. Worst that was going to happen was I'd need a 3rd go! Or I'd just dip out altogether ๐Ÿ˜„

Neither ocean nor alien would be great starters for today. Trace would be slightly better but not much. Just giving you the heads up there!

On my 3rd shot, once I saw 2 greens, and having the yellow vowel, the first word that sprang to mind was a bit of an Australian icon. But it would have been highly unlikely so I kept thinking.๐Ÿ˜

Thereโ€™s only one vowel that you wonโ€™t need.

Seriously weird sort of word for them to choose, I thought.

Common enough in Australia but I would not have thought it was common in USA, though I could be wrong.
