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

Annoyingly, I had the wrong letter in the middle of that final word. There were only choices. Grrrrrrr.

Happy with this. Went with a completely different starter, which wasn't all that helpful but the second word led me to believe that first yellow was probably at the start of the word. So I took a guess.

I solved this in (almost) reverse order, from #8 backwards.

I consider myself lucky to have solved this in 4. After my 3rd attempt, I had tried 14 different letters and still only had one. Fortunately it was in place, at least. It was a matter of what it couldn't be more than what it could be.

I think I know exactly what happened to you. After my second guess, I too was sitting there thinking, now which starting letter is it, q or g.
