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 🤣

Bit of an unusual one, that LHS

I have done octordle too but not quordle and I don't know I'll get to it. Homity pie is showing as taking 1 hr 25 mins to make and I have to leave home at 2.15 and haven't even bought the ingredients to make the pie yet!

Not my best but at least i got through. I got caught up in the first one. Haunt, gaunt etc before I got it right. Turns wasted.

Quite tricky. The middle letter could have quite a number of things.

I really did not expect that left hand word. I wasn’t left with much of an alternative but even as I played that word, I was muttering “It won’t be that”… yet it was.

I felt in my bones that the top left would do what it did… Low cunning.

3R was my hardest - it was the last word that I solved as I kept hoping for further information. But no, it gave me no more… and I had to guess between two possibles for its first letter.

Alien/shout starters. Nowhere near as good as your results. I think we have seen that LHS word in octordle at some time.
