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 🤣

I agree, springyzone - that 1L word is an annoying one.

My starter was TRACE and my row 2 eliminator was POUND.

Didn't do too well with this. The first letter could have been one of several choices.

My starter was ratio.

It was easy enough. I tried the words rouge and spank, both wrong, but I don't feel badly about them as they were reasonable guesses for what I had at the time. It blew out the score a bit though.

The score looks okay (for me) but this went down to the wire. I had actually been going quite well till it came time to solve #8 and it took several turns. There were very few letters left by that stage and some were clearly out of the game, so I couldn't see what else it could be, but it looks wrong, it isn't how I would spell it.

Everything is aching… 

     Therefore let us Wordle.

This wasn’t a smooth thing to unravel. In particular one word is horrible; we’ve had it before.

I'm sorry you are aching all over, countess. I hope you feel a lot better soon.

I've been away a couple of days and didn't get time to wordle.

Did it this morning though.

Used two of my old, original starters. Because of the greens, I could sort of work out where that first yellow had to go, so that helped me a lot.
