WORDLE - anyone else trying the daily online word game?

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 ๐Ÿคฃ

Just scraped in. Didn't help that I made a couple of wrong guesses. They were logical enough, just wrong.

Spoiler
rogue & caddy instead of vogue and cabby.

TRACE was my starter: not a bad one. I used LOUGH as my 2nd row eliminator and that helped me narrow it down.

I expected Bot to give me a battering but he was quite kindly and said they were good choices.

I started with CATER, and then played DOING. This drastically cut down the possibilities.

Top left (1L) was an anagram of the guess I made in row 10, darn it.

 

My starter was SLATE and I followed with DINGO.

TRACE was my starter here, but it was hard going getting to the point of solving the words.
