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 ๐คฃ

For me, this didn't feel as if it flowed easily, I had to work for it.
I used another eliminator on turn 5.

Same score, but seemed to flow easier.
Did use another eliminator at turn 4, which is what set the score back.
I took a risk on my last turn for #7

One simple error, and I was slapped with two extra points. That word in 4L (your #7, I think) going to be one or the other of two possible words, both likely, both logical.

Oh, I was lucky with todayโs Wordle! I mean with regard to the eliminator: it turned a one-yellow-tiled vista of unhelpfulness into a pleasant promenade of certainty.

Ah, yes, that was where I took my risk yesterday, between level & jewel but fortunately went for jewel first.
At least you were lucky in the classic as I see you were in the same position as I was-could have been wield or yield. Yield is more useful though, with a Y.

This too me a little while to figure out.
I could think of several words with the letters but I could see that, one way or another, they were not possible.

I was lucky with this as I was able to guess 2L straight off on my second turn.
But I did need an eliminator (my usual) at turn 3.
I did have 2 bits of good luck though. Took a risk at 3R (6)
