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 🤣

springy, I did get that TRACE; here’s the exact link to my post: https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/WORDLE-anyone-else-trying-the-daily-online-word-ga...

 I am so glad you posted the link because you'd never guess where it is on my computer. Back on page 392, in the middle of posts from 11 Sept. No wonder I didn't see it.

Today's wordle wasn't hard as such. I could guess the shape of the word after my first 2 eliminators, it was just a matter of narrowing down the first letter. Mind you, even my 5th turn wasn't a certainty.

Took me a while. I was tempted to rush in and just use another eliminator somewhere to test out more letters but resisted the urge.

The eliminators did a good job for me today. I decided to reverse their order but in fact I don't think that made any difference.😂

This was going surprisingly well at first, as each guess was working out. But at the end I was left with # 7 and for that, I only had 2 vowels exposed (only one in place) and several fairly common unused letters. My first guess wasn't 'it'.

I have only today’s starter about three times before, so this was a lucky stroke. My only question was … spice or position?

Today’s Dordle went perfectly for me.

Fine; I’m happy with this.

SANER was my starter, and I followed with FLOUT.
