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 took me until the 3rd row to solve that first word. Then another eliminator was needed… From that point on, I could thankfully solve without another eliminator, with some degree of luck.

DOING was easy to solve; VEGAN ditto.

PUFFY - I nearly played PUPPY because that’s such an Octordle word to have.

The rest was straightforward.

7 again.

TRACE was my starter, SPINY followed… and I could solve two words. Then came a hiatus and another eliminator.

TRACE … and HOUND.

TRACE
HOUND
COVER

After TRACE, I had a yellow C, R and E.
I wanted to eliminate or confirm H - ruling out CHEER; also included N and D as often found in words shaped like C_ _ ER.

The eliminator still left me with two strong possibilities and some weaker less likely ones… but I decided to try COVER rather than CORER.

Ohhh! I nearly did better than 45! It was just that first letter of the last word that done me in, as Eliza Dolittle would say.

a prediction for Wordle 1096.

With a high degree of accuracy, countess will get it in two.

You’re right.

The only thing to post in a spoiler is the answer, and that seems silly since it’s obvious!

TRACE and BOUGH were my starter and eliminator respectively. I could guess 1L with 50/50 certainty, and I was then facing the dilemma of the middle letter for 4R.

Spoiler

TRACE
BOUGH
HUTCH (might have been DUTCH)
CORER (might have been COVER, COWER, CODER, etc., but I did think it was time for Octordle’s trick of reusing a letter to come to the fore.

It is nice to be home again!

My daughter doesn't believe in heating as it is so expensive but I put it on for 10 minutes this morning!

Normally I don't notice cold much. It was an absolutely brilliant day though, no complaints, all that blue sky.

And I have wordled. I came on intent to do 19/6 wordle but got caught up and before I knew it, the clock had ticked over!
