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 🤣

Quordle was very amenable , I must say.

This was hard going. I started with SCALE and GROIN.

I was going to say, I think you outdid the bot yesterday. With the same opening starter.

He puts it down to luck but I think it is your talent. 

Today I didn't do so great in wordle but I found the surprising thing with it is that about half way through, Bot was adamant I should have tried a different eliminator and the one he suggested had R in it. The thing is, I was already pretty sure it would have R and where it would be, it was other letters I needed to know about.

Didn't really make any dreadful mistakes except I tried spine instead of swine on turn 3.
Hope things are stabilising with your mum.

Bot is full of Christmas cheer. He quite approved of my first 2 choices, even though they weren't very helpful.

I hope your Christmas is peaceful, Countess. That there are some positive moments.

I don’t think today’s Wordle is likely to be solved in fewer than 4 turns, unless the starter used were an unusual one.

I started with TRACE, then played LOUGH. It was my third row eliminator that gave it away,

A much easier one today. I was able to work with what was in it, rather than what I had eliminated.

My memory is not the best today!

I just went to do octordle, was looking forward to it in fact, only to find I have already done it this morning! And I quite enjoyed it, it all comes back to me now!

Bit disappointed though that I have no octordle to do till tomorrow!
