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 LINGO, which was a fantastic starter. Two possibilities were obvious, and I could have just gone for a guess. I to t k or really why I didn’t.

Correction: I don’t really know why I didn’t.

I tried to tread carefully with this. Note the word 'tried'. I still chose some wrong words out of the 'possibles'.

Yes, excellent start!

I had SLATE as my starter, and I used BRING as my eliminator.

Sometimes the Octordle cookie crumbles in the wrong way…

I started with TRACE, then DOILY. I was able to do without another eliminator throughout, although I did have a sticky moment with 2R. I worked it out after a good long period of mulling it over.

I started with CRATE, then followed with FLING. I still needed another eliminator…
