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 🤣

I would be happier if I’d used a different 2nd row eliminator.

Wrong guess at row 6… but it was the logical choice!

STARE and LOUGH were my starters. I was able to guess block 2R, and kept things rolling. With that last word in block 3R, there were two word possibility, both highly likely. It was sheer luck that I chose the correct one.

I missed the first word. Not for want of trying, as there were several words it could be.

I'm not too concerned. Been feeling poorly the last couple of days (so far, testing neg for covid and they don't seem to be covid symptoms, but who knows!) and I can't find my slippers. I can't figure out where they could have got to and I am missing them. Nice warm, woolly ones.

Started with my usual word. I'd eliminated the 5th vowel in my second word, leaving me with one. The first word that came to mind for the 3rd word, wasn't going to be it, because the first letter was eliminated in my first word. So, I took a punt!

I couldn’t manage 3 today…

I had the first three letters by row 2, but I could think of three possible words as the solution, and needed to eliminate or confirm some possible letters. My 3rd row eliminator was KANZU.

Springy, I hope you are feeling better soon. (May COVID not touch you.)

Oh, I fully understand why you couldn’t get this Dordle. Two lots of letters used twice…! Grrr.

I was lucky in having eliminated a lot of possibles earlier.

Right. They tried the old twice-used trick for top left, but I saw through it.
