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 was happy with this because although it started slowly, (I didn't solve the first one till my 4th try) but after that, most of the words were easy enough.

Number 5 gave me pause, trying to put it together, even though I had several letters. The answer when it came, I thought was very.. applicable to my struggle with it.😂

Complete shock! I had the choice of 3 words that came into my head. I nearly went with the one starting with T. As I'd experienced this this week, I went with this word, not actually expecting it to be the one.

I was absurdly pleased with this. I get impatient and often want to try a word, just for letter placement, even when I know it is wrong and I had to hold my fingers back today and keep thinking.

For me, anything under 60 is happy days!

My starters were ratio and pulse.

My wrong guess on turn 3 on RHS was very helpful to solve the LHS.

I'd already decided the LHS probably had a double letter in there.

The ones that set me back on this were the 2 top words. I really do feel my 2 wrong tries were more appropriate words than the ones they chose!

I suspected what the bottom right word might be but left it till last.
