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 🤣

I'm always being logged out too. I have to log into the community boards, which would be okay, but if I then click out and want to come back later, have to log in again even though I ticked the box that says stay logged in.

Been a flat out week for me. Had 2 of the grandkids on Monday (school was open for minding but a teacher died and staff attending funeral so they asked kids to stay home if possible).

Then minded Tuesday/Wed with one granddaughter vomiting yesterday morning so stayed home, seemed better when i left.

Got to go over again this morning as vomiting more last night, then pick up grandson and keep them here tomorrow as-curriculum day!

I did okay with wordle today. I kept thinking of 'alone' but it obviously could not be that so i had to reaarange my thoughts.

Not so great with this. Solved a word on turn 3 but then felt the need for another eliminator (pricy).

Got a surprise with #6. Had it down as one of a probable half dozen but it was none of those.

Made a mistake on turn 3, tried locum on turn 3. Immediately knew what it was after that, at least!

Took a risk on #2, grass or grasp but at least grasp exposed a new letter so went for it.

Firstly - It sounds like a busy and obviously distressing time. Poor girl! I hope she feels better soon, and I hope you have some restful time soon.

And secondly - fantastic score!

I’m just glad I’d already eliminated “H”, or I’d probably have played “FISHY” after striking out with DIZZY.
