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 🤣

This was challenging. It started out looking rather promising, and then descended into uncertain terrain.

It doesn’t really convey the feeling I had… All I can say is that there were words I could nearly have played, but which I left until I played another, and that in doing do I averted missteps. It’s a “There but for the grace of God” feeling. I almost played “later”; I almost played “learn”…

Today’s Wordle answer was an eliminator I used to use.

I’m glad I chose the eliminator that I did use today; I think I’ve only used it twice before.

Such an unlucky start! – I didn’t really know where to go from there. I knew that my eliminator would dictate whether I had even a hope of a 3-rower.

I was very lucky with my eliminator. From “way too many” possibilities down to two possibilities was amazing. It was wheel or shell; those were the only answers I could see.

Grr.

I guessed one word at row 2, but I had a setback on the final word where I guessed wrongly.

Still, 52 is not to be sneezed at.

thats today’s one done. 
the internet connection on the ship is extremely slow and glitchy.

sometimes it does not work at all but it is particularly slow in cabins so we were told.

And have noticed from experience.

sometimes I do wordle but can’t get this board to load.

oh well. Back next week.

I can’t get my wordle to post again.

i keep pushing share but ……

and i got it in 3 today too so i wanted to show it.

Springyzone, have you tried using copy rather than share?

Wordle was splendidly co-operative for me, after an admittedly unrevealing start.

My eliminator swished away all competitors; I couldn’t see any alternative to “wagon”.

Yes I push copy and paste but it seems to revert to whatever I copied in Octordle.

i am obviously doing something wrong but I haven’t mastered this phone yet that is for sure.
