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

Another 7! I started solving reasonably early, but at row 5 needed another eliminator.

 

Annoyingly, I had a strong suspicion about the bottom-left word after row 2, but โ€ฆ no, even had I essayed that guess, it wouldnโ€™t have helped with the top left word; Iโ€™d still have needed an eliminator.

My SANER start wasnโ€™t bad, but I had no choice but to use an eliminator at row 3.

 

There was a dilemma for my bottom left - the last word I solved. With two possible word choices, what would emerge triumphantly from the soup of PCD? I was luckyโ€ฆ

I am sort of pleased with myself with this one.

As you can see, I had 3 letters after my first word. 

I was tempted to just type in my normal eliminator but then thought-3 letters, I should have a go.

But the problem was, I could think of a few different words it could possibly be, so I wrote out the possible letters and came up with an eliminator that might help.

One stupid guess but otherwise okay. Can't break 60 lately though.

STAIR was my starter.

 

The top 2 (1L and 1R) were the trickiest for me, because of the letters I hadnโ€™t used up to that point.
