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 🤣

Not so lucky today. 3 wrong guesses. I probably would have been better to use the first 3 turns for elimination.

Even after 2 words, I could think of several possibilities so I used another eliminator, which i felt cut down the possibilities I had thought of. Bot felt I really could have done better though as it did eliminate several words but his choice would have eliminated all but the answer 

Oh well, we can't please everyone.

Got through, I guess.

I found 1 & 2 especially had a lot of possibilities & I had to leave them till last to whittle them down.

Today I wasn't feeling it after 2 turns so I played another eliminator and suddenly there was light.😂

My Wordle had a reasonably useful start with CATER.

STALE as my starter was quite good, and PINCH was a nice solid 2nd row eliminator

My starter was CRATE.

I had a good run (including taking some chances) until try #9, when I made a perfectly logical guess… but at least I had the word on the next attempt.

After 3 turns, I was tossing up whether to go with the Easter rabbit or something amusing. Went for the laugh, which was lucky.

I was pleased with this today. The first 2 had me tossed till the end as I couldn't decide which starting letter for a while.
