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 🤣

I think this is my lowest score ever.

That's because I had enough to solve #5 on my second turn.

After my 3rd turn, I had a funny feeling about a certain letter for #4, and ironically, I was convinced it was probably in #6 as well. Luckily, I solved #8 before those, which cleared things up a lot.

PS I solved #1 only because it was all I could think of, but to me, it is a more or less slang term for the proper word.

I was surprised on turn 3 as I got the 3 middle letters in place but the letter I would then expect on the end was not right. So the answer was about all it could be.

Bot followed a very similar projectory to me today so of course he thought my choices were fine.

I meant to congratulate you on this fantastic score yesterday!

But somehow time got away from me..

I used CRATE as my starter. 

Again, if I post my eliminator, the solution will be right there; I can see only two remaining words.

It’s a CRATE day… and I used ZONKS as my 2nd row eliminator.

At my final word (3L), I had only the two final letters, so I played a guess using some of the remaining letters. It was wrong… but it did give me another letter but in the wrong place. At that point, I knew what the word must be.

I started with CRATE, and then used GUILD. Very straightforward.

I had to use 3 eliminator words before I could get a proper grip on this word. 

Bot says that, in my place, he would have guessed the other possible word. I had thought of it but I fancied this one so went with it. That strategy doesn't usually pay off for me, as you know, but today it did. 😂

I am happy with this. I needed to use another eliminator on my 5th turn, just to throw some light on things.
