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

There is something unsatisfying when I have all of the letters. Itโ€™s just not as pleasingly challenging. Oh well.

Aha. This was more like it.

 

RH word was relatively easy to guess, while the LH was by no means obvious. I deduced that the word MIGHT end with two particular yellow letters but that it was more likely that one was the final letter and the other was the middle letter. As I went though the possibilities for the two unplayed letters, almost all were ruled out by the second letter (the green one) being where it was, and by the two other letter positions that I was assuming. 

What a lovely little hit of dopamine when I guessed correctly.

One of the more pleasing Quordles, too! I could work out the words without thrashing about in a smelly swamp of mushy vowels and undecided consonants.

Never heard of the word. It was pure luck that I got it. I'd pretty much ran out of possible letters, so put and L in to see what happened. Apparently it's a word. 

Still, I got it!

Hot on the trail but picked the other alternatives first. Typical.
