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 🤣

Some answers occurred to me immediately after my first 2 turns (#1, 4 &8)

Plus I had a deja vu moment with #3. I refused to believe it.

I thought.. they are trying to trick us with this one, I'll wait.

thought it might possibly be debus instead.

In fact, through several of the octordles today, I was thinking. what? Not again.😂

You'll see what i mean.

It was one of those annoying Wordles when one thinks, “Please use more letters”.

Fell o0n the very last hurdle (#3).
All the way through, I was thinking.. probably envoy, then at the last moment, noticed it could be enjoy and that seemed a more likely answer. Wrong!

Several mistakes through this one and frustrating as by the end I knew that answer to #3 but ran out of turns. I had , for a while, hovered between women and woven.
Mistakes-#4 bolus instead of locus. And it wasn't as if the B actually helped anywhere else, either.

#8, prone instead of peony, which frustrated me as I had peony pegged as a possibility.

#6 ruder instead of udder. Udder has been out so often lately.
