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 🤣

Do you know if Wordle is the same in the USA? Not the game, the puzzle answers by date? Was “Sassy”your answer a few days ago?

Hey, come on tcmsecret, what's the verdict? Same, not the same?

I am betting it is the same, in which case... why don't you join us and share your results?

We'll behave and not give the answer away, even if we do get to play it earlier. 😁

Bit of a sneaky one, this.

By my 4th turn, it was the only word I could think of. Bit early in the morning for me.😁

Bot tells me there were 3 guesses but I hadn't thought of the others, to be honest.

I ran out of inspiration and used another eliminator on turn 6, which helped.

I started with SNARE, and followed with CLOUD. At that point I had a sneaky suspicion about the solution. It wasn’t the only possibility; there were three others I could think of. However, were my guess wrong, I’d know which of the remaining three was the correct answer.

My guess was right.

It would have been no shame to guess this on the 4th row.

TRACE and LOUIS were enough to give me the RH word. I was left with suspecting that the two yellows were in 3rd and 4th position. It couldn’t be 3rd and 1st, because the RH word letters ruled out one particular letter.  Other possibilities were ruled out, until I could only come up with one word.

I needed another eliminator at row 5; I just couldn’t proceed without it.

Too many possibilities (5 obvious ones) for the final word (3R); I chose my eliminator/guess and was wrong by one letter.

I wasn't getting far enough till I tried the 3rd eliminator & even then, it was between two choices. But I figured... American site, and went with that idea.
