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 ๐Ÿคฃ

This was better.

 

CATER was my starter, with HUMPY as my 2nd row eliminator.

After my first two tries, I was left with far too many possibilities. Third word was one that at least tried out a few different letters and to my surprise, it paid off... except for the very end. I was actually lucky to get it in 4 as I had another word I thought could be 'it' too.

Just had a chance to try octordle and was pleased today!

I had a countess moment!

Quite a few of these have been out before. In fact, I think #3 could be retired for a spell.

Iโ€™m very pleased with this. I was very strategic and my starter and eliminator were highly rewarding.

It was top left which got in the way here. I made a guess as there were several possibilities for the final two lettersโ€ฆ and my first guess was wrong.

I so nearly played a different word for 4R. I had it narrowed down to two possibilities, and Iโ€™d actually typed in the word that I judged more likely of the two before I paused, and changed my mind.

The middle letter could have been any one of three. (My first two words ruled out all other possibilities.)

 

Itโ€™s luck and nothing else that led to the guess I made.

The word on the right is tiresome. It comes straight out of California therapy cultureโ€ฆ and itโ€™s appeared too frequently in these puzzles.

Not too badโ€ฆ Once I solved row 3, I did have to play another eliminator, but it was full of solid information and I could play through thereafter,
