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

Right word could have been a nasty smell, but I decided to take a more upright approach.

A bit trickier than it looks: thatโ€™s my verdict on this Quordle.

 

LATER was my starter. I then played MOUND, and I had the top right word in my grasp. 

Following from that, bottom right was obvious.

 

I was then at a loss, and needed to play another eliminator: SPIKY. That gave me bottom left.

 

I also had top left after my eliminator.

 

Had my second eliminator not contained a particular letter, Iโ€™d have had to play another turn at least.

I almost almost almost ALMOST went for a lively gathering at top left, but hesitatedโ€ฆ consideredโ€ฆ and tried instead to lump it.

 

Luckily I did. Not only was my alternative correct, but it opened up block 3 right.

 

Apart from that, smooth sailing.

My starter was DAILY. I needed an eliminator to reduce the possibilities, so it was a 3-er for me today.

I found that too.

I could eventually guess where some letters had to go and which unexposed letter was probably on the end.
