WORDLE - anyone else trying the daily online word game?

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:

 

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-26/why-wordle-has-become-a-new-online-obsession/100782794

 

 

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 ๐Ÿคฃ

One of my most-often-used eliminators was there! It was fortuitous that I used it today.

 

That eliminator also gave me 3L (your #5, springyzone), because it was either one letter or another to complete that word.

 

I had more good luck at 2R, because it could have been one letter all the way. But thatโ€™s where the luck ran out; my guess for the final word was wrong, but it did leave me with only one possible answer remaining.

ultra an answer just a few days ago?

Otherwise, some more interesting words. I was hesitant with #8 as I kept thinking-not sure if that would be American spelling so it can't be right.

I play the Dordle and Quordle as well, but mostly donโ€™t post them here.

 

Do you also play the โ€œrescueโ€ Octordle?  That is weird, with such a bad start!

 

Ah well - hereโ€™s todayโ€™s Octordle.

Yes, I was so taken aback by the possibility of fibre that I wasn't game to try it till last. Maybe they were trying to trip up the American players, for once.

 

Why is caulk infamous?

 

And I could never have used shoji as an eliminator as I have never seen that word before, but well done!

I think you should do well in this one as solving one word does lead to the next.
#8 is one of those words of the moment, has been out a few times lately.

Yes, I do usually play sequence and the ridiculous words they start with are frustrating. Four turns and they would have us believe a player had not covered all vowels or at least solved one word. Day after day.

I only play them when I have time as some days I am lucky to even get the daily one in.
