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 🤣

I started with LOUIS.

Just usual, nothing spectacular.

This time I began with SAINT.

For 2R (the last word that I solved), I was in a quandary thinking that it must have an L, until I realised that I’d not yet played U either.

Bot would have been deliriously happy with your first choice.

Today i took 4 before I guessed it. Bot was aghast at my 3rd try and told me there was only one possible answer and I should have known #3 try was not it, given the letters I had. Of course I knew, I was just trying to narrow it down.

I started with SLATE. I hovered between OPIUM and HOURI for my 2nd row eliminator.

I didn't do anything horrendous, it is just that at turn 4 I used another eliminator and then I had a wrong guess along the way.

Spoiler

swill instead of skill. I tell you, it's a gift to be always able to jump onto the wrong word.😂
All I could see was swill, got a surprise when it was wrong.

This nearly went to penalties… a 6-rower. It’s that LH word - middle letter was 1 of 2.

I have this score because of luck. That final word… 3R … could have been either B or F. And 2R - well, that was a risky guess, based primarily on where H was.

My starter was CATER, followed by LOUGH.

I was happy enough with this but Bot wasn't, he thought I should have used a different second word. Sometimes I think it is lucky I don't know there are as many possibilities as he seems to think there are. Mind you, a couple he mentioend I felt were not as likely as the ones I had in mind.

Octordle. No horrendous mistakes but in hindsight I should have played one word earlier, which would have helped solve a different square where I made a mistaken guess. I just overlooked solving #5 much earlier, left it and concentrated on others.
