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 did need to play another eliminator at row 8, but all in all, it was a lute without a rift.

OMG I have never seen a game like that in my life, not when I play it. LOL

When I first opened your spoiler I assumed you were just showing us a snippet of one section but then as I scrolled down I saw all of it was there. That's right, she is on a phone, I remembered. Well done!!

You should be the aussie entrant if ever there are world championships!

That's a very impressive Octordle Countess! Very impressive indeed.

I did a bit better today.

I could imagine where the yellow tile pretty much had to go, then I just had to work through the other letters to see what would fit.

I had a few words I could have tried as an eliminator.........

Started with my most usual word adieu. Sometimes I'll try a different start word. Sometimes it pays off, other times it doesn't.

I started with BEAUS; wonderful starter result.

The answer was obvious.

It was fine. I started with CATER, followed with SOILY, played one more eliminator with THUMP (I wanted to narrow down that T position in the word on the right), and then had an easy 4th and 5th solving of both words.

No particular issues, except for top left word’s first letter being a toss-up between C and D. I had to make a choice; it could easily have been the wrong one.

Everything else was straightforward.

Top left with American spelling stumped me for a while as I wasn’t thinking in terms of e where there should be an œ / oe.

But I solved it in the end. Pooh pooh to you, you US-centric foulness!
