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 🤣

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

My starter was a bit BENDY. I was inspired by my description on the Blokes & Sheilas thread about the first very cheap knife and fork I purchased as a child. (13 years old and ignorant of 18/10!)

Aaaaaggghhhhh!

Word on the left could only have been one of three possibilities. I ruled out one as very unlikely. Being left with two remaining possibles, I played one of them. Alas, it was the other one.

A bit of a surprise: one of my usual eliminators was the bottom right word. 

The rest was easy enough, apart from bottom left which had me playing another eliminator. That only gave me one more green of previous yellow, but given what letters I had still left (unplayed), I was able to guess the answer.

Three unknown letters were facing me in bottom right; what was remaining gave me answer.

I could figure out where the yellows were probably likely to go., so it wasn't a big surprise to get it on the third try.

I had a fairly quick start but fell behind with a couple of incorrect guesses.

Given I only had 2 yellows, it was a very lucky guess. I very nearly went with

train

as my second word!

That word definitely would have given the word away with a third go.

There were still quite a few possibilities after my spectacularly good starter LINGO. It would have been lovely to guess correctly in row 2, but alas, it wasn’t to be. At least my incorrect eliminator ruled out every alternative so that row 3 was a shoe-in.

Disappointing. Eliminators at rows 3 and 4 needed, and I still had a possible two words facing me at row 7.
