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 🤣

It was back to SLATE for my Octordle starter, and I used DOING as my second row eliminator. 

I could have tried guessing 1R in row 2, as there were two words that were most likely… Some other possibilities existed as well, but they were ones that I gauged were unlikely. But I held back, as 50/50 is not a sure thing, and my eliminator would not only rule out one of the possibilities but also provide further useful information for the remaining words.

Just as well I did, too.

Very average at this too, couple of wrong guesses.

I decided to do the other two this morning, while the day is my own.

Expecting the hordes to descend this afternoon to go in the pool, it is an above ground one but they like it.

Talk about a trend for the day, more very ordinary results but at least i got through.

Oh well, I play words with friends with a couple of people and scored a 120 with one of my words (vex), which cheered me up.

A really bad start but I figure if there is nothing in the first word, then the second should surely throw up at least a vowel. I found that after my second word, there weren't that many choices I could think of.

That was a thoroughly good result.

 
I managed a 2-row victory today, but it’s down to luck as my starter - CATER - narrowed things down to just 3 possibilities.

Worked out well.

Bot felt my second word should have been sully but on the whole, I think my own choice had as much chance.

Octordle, not so great today. Few wrong guesses & ran out of turns.

You can guess which starter I used!

Not an easy Octordle today… There were too many one-off letters so that solving one word didn’t help much (or at all) with other words.
