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 ๐คฃ

The bottom right was obvious after my starter. It also gave me another letter for top right, which led me to a strong possibility for that word. I could have used another eliminator to confirm my guess but instead I just went for it - and it was correct.
At that point I needed an eliminator at row 4; I used LOUGH. That gave me enough to solve bottom left and top left.

After the second turn, I realised the yellow could only go in one place, and, given the second letter had been revealed, there were limited other letters that could go at the start.

By the time Iโd played the second row, I knew what the first letter must be, and that meant it was only the final two letters that were in doubt. Was the answer a gastropod or a baby or a turner? That was the questionโฆ
I had to decide whether or not a P or a K were involved.

LODGE was my starter; not very revealing.
Final word was a nice atomic kick for me.
