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 always get delight from reading your posts. "Came a cropper" yet you still managed to get 50. That would be a red letter day for me!

I did wordle yesterday but it was last night, on my phone. I was thrilled to guess it in 3 as I didn't have much to go on but for some reason, the cut and paste function on the phone wasn't working properly and kept posting something that wasn't wordle so I gave up. Phones just aren't my thing, obviously.

Today's wordle-the first guess probably gave me a good clue with the green but I was in sluggish mode & I just couldn't for the life of me think of what it could be, so I went for a 3rd eliminator and was very lucky with the extra letters it threw up. The answer came to me in an instant.

Today's octordle. Head hanging in shame. I made a stupid mistake on the last word. I actually guessed what it probably was but left it and went on to solve a different word that popped out at me. Then went back to #8 and quickly typed in canny by accident instead of the word I had suspected it was. I had already eliminated that as a possibility as I had already tried 'n', I just wasn't double checking, too much of a rush, as usual.

Happy days! After 2 turns I had all 5 letters. Even then, the first word that popped into my head was the wrong one!😂 Luckily, I could tell from the yellows that the positions weren't right for it so it was back to the drawing board.

Made a couple of wrong (but logical enough) guesses along the way, which blew out the score. But easy enough game, quick to do.

It didn’t feel … right. I don’t know why… but this was an effort.

I started with CATER and then LOUGH.

Yes, this was the sort of Octordle that laid lots of traps along the way.

And… in the dark cold silence of night, I awoke and turned restlessly.

I used one of my usual starters, followed up with a 2nd row eliminator that I’ve used sometimes.
