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 🤣

Grrrr… I nearly had a 4-row result for Dordle, but I made a wrong but logical guess for row 4.

At least my BAGEL guess was also an eliminator.

When I go to bed, I sometimes do Wordle.

Now I am so excited that I can't sleep.

I started with TRACE again. All I received in return was a yellow A. But I still managed to squeeze a 3 out of this Wordle.

Oh boy, the walk of shame. 😂

I had 4 letters in yellow & I still struggled.

I was saved from taking 4 turns to solve it only because my original 3rd word was not allowed. Not in word list, I was told.

Not my shining moment either.

I actually could have done better had I taken risks. I had strong feelings about #1 & 4 but wasn't game to go with them. #1 did have other alternatives so i waited to rule them out.

I decided to not use a starter and risk jumping straight in with an eliminator.

Line 1 was LIGHT.  From there, I tinkered with some arrangements but mainly wanted to use another vowel and Y.

Settled on LAY being part of line 2, then success.

I got lucky, I know that.

US spelling alert!

It was smooth enough, although I hesitated between a lively and a mouldy alternative for 2R.

I do Quordle and Octordle each day, but don’t place a lot of importance on solving all of the words.  That’s why I do not report my results here.
