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

                       โ€ฆ and it seems that the Wordle elves have decided that this type of word is morphologically acceptable.

Oh yes, I've been amazed sometimes at some of the 'words' that are answers in these games.

I think at least this one has passed into the language & I am not sure everyone would even be aware of what the letters stand for.

For some reason, the answer jumped out at me after my eliminators. Usually I have to work at it.

Like seriously, is that actually a word?

It is, apparently, a word now. Ridiculous as it seems, itโ€™s entered into the OED. I still resist its usage and I will continue to resist!

RH word - I suggest using an eliminator word, as I did, to narrow down the possibilities for first and third letters.

Good elimination gave away TL word.
