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 🤣

A pleasing result. I used TRACE and SPINY, and thereafter began solving.

The position of my very first yellow cut out several possibilities.

Interestingly, Bot told me that on my 3rd turn, I should have tried fable. Maybe I would have if I had thought of it, but my mind was too busy eliminating blare/glare/flare etc 😂

And in any case, fable was incorrect.

My first 2 moves were not auspicious. Despite the score though, I raced through this as it was the easiest to predict in a long ttime. I did make a false move on turn 3. After that, the way was clear.

Spoiler

shall instead of shawl and thought of it as I clicked but too late, it had gone into the ether.

Happy with this. Bot told me later there were 3 possibilities and I chose the right one at move 3, but at the time, the answer was the only one that popped into my head.

This worked out easily enough as one word seemed to lead to another. By my final word (#7), I had all the letters and once I rearranged them it did make me laugh.

Deja vu.

Starting with a TRACE, my 2nd row indicator was DOING everything it could to help.

I used TRACE again, and made a leap for the LH word.

Well, I got there, just! Didn't start solving till turn 4 and had a couple of wrong guesses along the way.
