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:

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

Your Wordle result was excellent, springyzone! You couldnโ€™t have done it in 2 without a lucky guess.

I went slightly off course today and took a risk I normally wouldn't, but was feeling reckless.

Spoiler
Second word was steer. I liked the letters S, T and R, but on the minus side, I was missing out on O/U.
Then I tried the first word that came into my head after that, as I figured the R was probably in second place. But as you can see, there were other possibilities so it was a risk.

Ran out of steam by turn 5 and used another eliminator (pricy)
Then made a mistake right at the end with #8, I tried rumor and only got juror on the next turn.

Quite frankly, I was shocked to get as low as 53 on this one.

# 3 had me in a quandary and I had to try a most unsatisfactory eliminator at the end.

Spoiler
I had it pegged as croon/crown/frown/grown (and earlier on, as maybe  brown or drown)
Ideally, I would have liked an eliminator with C/F/G or otherwise 2 of them plus the W, but I just couldn't think of any, so in the end went with craft. That still didn't solve it so I just took a stab at crown as more likely.
