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 🤣

Although I had 3 letters, it was hard for me to figure out where they went. I could think of a lot of words they could be in, but most choices were eliminated because of the letters I knew couldn't be in it.

I started with SANER - which gave me nothing. I then played DOILY for a much better result. At that point I had a very strong suspicion about the answer. There were only four possibilities that I could see, and two of those were HIGHLY HIGHLY unlikely, with another being quite unlikely.

Here I started with GONAD. Not enough there to guess anything, but I could see some possibilities that I wanted to rule out or in. I played the eliminator MUSHY, and that gave me the LH word.

At row 4, it was clear that the answer was one of two possibilities. I played the wrong one first…

Starter was CATER, and I followed with HOUND. I made a confident guess, and then another, but came to a stop after that. Another eliminator was needed; the word I chose was nicely revealing.

Can anyone remember what yesterday's word was? I forgot to write it down.

Today, I started with my usual ADIEU, then went with DROID to see if there was an O. Took me a bit to work it out, but thought I'd try that word that it was.

Welcome back Springy! I hope you had a great time on your cruise! I got worried when I hadn't seen you for a bit, after several regulars went MIA, for good reason.

I don’t remember yesterday’s Word. I’m sorry.

It's funny, it could have been a few words. Yet, I obviously played my cards right.

Crazy! My 2nd eliminator was so close to the actual word… I think you must have used the same eliminator, s&d!

My second word started with P.
