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 🤣

Nothing new here; I used my eliminators to determine which vowels could be included as well as narrow down the consonants.

TL has been appearing so often that I didn’t really have to work for that word. None of the words are spring chickens, in fact.

Some of these words were challenging to guess, primarily because the revealed letters often led to a a wide pool of possibilities. The use of repeated letters, anagrams, etc., all led to my sense of not being on top of things here.

I was pretty happy with that, given I'd used my usual start word "adieu". I then went with CLOAK. Mostly to see if there was actually an O in the word.

When I looked back over it, it isn't that I made any silly mistakes (which I can tend to do if I rush in.) I think it is more that I tried to work with what I had after turn 1.

I may have been better to play my second eliminator. It takes an extra turn but narrows it down a bit more.

I may have done better with a different set of eliminators I sometimes use. As it was, I wasted a couple of turns on water and furry.
