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 🤣

The yellow just could not go anywhere other than 3rd place, and because a certain letter was ruled out, no word ending with letter was possible. I was literally left with one possible answer.

Top left was a guess; its penultimate letter was either B or V. Luck gave me the correct answer.

I had all 5 letters after 2 turns so it was just a matter of moving the pieces around, like a jigsaw.

This word is what I classify as a certain 'type' of word. It has a name but I won't write it here just yet. All I'll say is that this type of word is reasonably popular with these word game makers.

Missed the last one. It was on my list of possibles but chose a little stream as my last turn instead. Bad move.

My usual sort of effort, nothing great. Al least I got them, I suppose.

With the first word, I could see a few possibles but I had a feeling about one of the more unlikely letters so I waited and if you get #6, it helps a lot.

I was so sure I was going to get it in 2!!! Still, the second word made the 3rd word a given.

Three is the number. At least four was “right out”.

My starter was LATER.
