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 🤣

Bit frustrating. After my second word, I was pretty sure it was between 2 words so i didn't bother with an eliminator & just tried one of them first. Not it. Then the other, Not it either. What?

Then I finally thought of what it had to be. That would have been my last choice, even if I had thought of it earlier.

I am satisfied I did the best i could on this one.

I slowed down, compared to my normal speed.

But I really felt the need for an eliminator on line 9.

I had had #8 word tagged early on as an either this or that deal.  But #2 was wide open. I knew it could be one of a wide range. So I tried an eliminator to cut down the choices and it worked out better than I could have expected. It actually solved both of them.

I have to say, #2 wasn't what I thought was a likely one.

My eliminator was DOGMA

One might try to wing it, but it’s good to keep abreast of the likeliest letters.

Oh, yes… the last two letters were not the ones most likely to spring to mind. You did well considering all of the possibilities!

I usually solve it in five tries, but I'm also better at Lewdle, the naughty version, getting it in four or five. 😂

Happy days! A countess sort of score, for once. 😁

Mind you, I was sitting there, pondering what to do on #7.

There were 2 possibilities I could think of. In the end, I decided to go with the first one I had thought of and I was lucky that it worked out.

mogul or locum. Both were equally possible on my board.

I tried Lewdle way back, and I was not doing well with it! Angelic mind 👼🪽👼😇 - I just don’t have that vocabulary but you’d think my Shakespeare knowledge would have helped…
