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 🤣

Rejoice!

 

 

Yes, a 2-word solution this time.

 

My starter was DOUGH.

 

 

(Other starters in a similar line that I use include BOUGH, LINGO, DINGO, COUGH…)

LH word has been seen very recently and it is tiresomely repeated AGAIN.

After my starter STARE and 2nd row LOUGH, I was able to make some guesses, but I still needed another eliminator at row 5.

Another good result - Springyzone, we’ve both scored that 52, albeit on different orders of solving each word.

 

My starter was TRADE.

This one took me a while. I was lucky enough to have the starter letter but that yellow in spot 2 eliminated just about every possible word I could think of.

Some of the answers have several close alternatives & guess who chose those first?

Not hard, but several alternatives for a couple of the words. Unless you have already eliminated some of those letters, of course, which I hadn't.

This could have been so many different words; my eliminator was very necessary.
