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

After the second word, I could see where the yellow had to go, so that made it much easier.
PS I am so glad actually that you couldn't recall the answers to the dordle of the day before.
I rarely can remember exactly what came out in the games either by the next day but at least now I know it is not just me.
What remains is a sort of overall memory, in that I can recognise when a word has been out somewhere before. Which does happen a fair bit in these games.

Wellโฆ hereโs todayโs Wordle from me โ and itโs a weird one.
I used NASTY as a starter, just for a change. You can see how far that got me. I then used a 2nd row eliminator โฆ and โฆ bang!

With SCARE as the starter, things got off to a good start. I did have to use a 5th row eliminator, though.

I could possibly have solved this in 3 as I had a feeling where the 2 yellows might go, but I decided to play the second eliminator anyway, when I should probably just have adapted it.
