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 🤣

My score here looks better than it was. I went down to the wire, but with honour.😁

I didn't make any silly mistakes.

The words are not hard, but # 4, I put on the backburner for a while. Mentally, I had 4 letters placed, but the one to go in spot number 4 could have been one of about half a dozen.

Answers for #1 and #5 (1st & 3rd down on left for phone users) were easy enough words, but just beware. It will depend on what other letters you have out as to how quickly you can eliminate some options.

I used a less usual starter that really paid off. My second was also a good choice.

I must have fallen asleep after I took some medication and did some stretches and used magnesium oil and a heat pad on that nagging pain…! I’d done my Dordle.

Yes… I see what you mean. I exhausted other possibilities with an eliminator word at row 8.

I started with "spots" today. No idea why! It just sounded like a good word.

I hope your back picks up soon Countess. I've had a bad back since the early 90's (nature of the job), so I completely understand how hard it can be.

I made a mistake with my eliminator at row 2. I intended to use FOUND, but my fingers typed another word that was much better for this particular Wordle. Weird!

The second word surprised me. Not because it is hard or unusual, as it is not. 

The tense I think is what surprised me.

I tried it mainly as it had a letter I wanted to know about for the first answer as well.
