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.

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 🤣

Oh, that last letter! I couldn’t not have tried it… At any length, my second guess ruled out all possibles other than the word itself.

My 2nd row eliminator aided greatly in solving this.

Not too shabby… I was helped by having a very good starter for this.

As fine a result as I could have wished, given that I couldn’t solve any word on row 2.

My starter - CATER - was fine. I used HOUND as my row 2 eliminator.

The wordle bot was happy enough with my first word and said my second try was 'solid' but not what it would have chosen.

It commiserated with me over my bad luck at turn 3 but told me I had no excuse not to get it on turn 4.

Lucky I didn't let it down! 😂

I'm happy enough with this.

It is a bit of an unusual octordle today in that words 2 & 7 are not ones that jump straight to the mind (or at least not my mind) when juggling the letters around. 

Number 5, I had to choose between a couple of letters to start it and chose the wrong one first.

My starter worked out very well. It needed an eliminator to start drilling down on the possibilities … and before row 3, I had two choices for the solution. I was fortunate to get the correct word.

I kept plugging away and finally got there.
