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.

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 🤣

My starter was RACER. I followed up with one of my stable of eliminators and it was a helpful one indeed.

If you have the chance to Dordle today, give it a try. I suspect you’ll have a good result.

A slow simmer at the start, but once I solved the 4th row, it went smoothly enough.

This was fine. My starter was PARTY - not the best starter; I’d have done better with one of my usuals. Never mind; I sailed through this until it came to row 3 left. I had to take a punt on the word because it could have been either geometric or heavenly.

 Ah, I just checked, it seems to be the only one I didn't get around to. Typical. I had to go out yesterday.

What were the answers, can you remember? I rarely can recall specific results by the next day.

Today's wordle. What can I say. 😟

The answer today is one of my most loved starters. It is the only one I used for ages at the beginning, then I tried a couple of others, and just lately I have used this one again in some of the games. But not today.

So although I could possibly have got this in one, I didn't.

I'm happy enough with the result. It was easy going at the start but I needed a last eliminator at turn 6.

I don't think I would have easily guessed the LHS without the 3rd eliminator. After that, the answer was obvious.
