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.

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 🤣

Once I saw I had 2 greens in position plus I could guess where the yellow was more likely to go, I felt I had to give it a try.

There may be lots of different answers, I don't know, but all I could come up with were admin and again.
It probably helps that admin is such a regular in octordle that it is the first one that popped into my head.
It's the sort of word I think might not stand out to a lot of people unless they know how beloved it is with the puzzle makers.😂

It's not that I did anything outrageously bad, it is just that about half way through, I didn't want to take any risky guesses. So I went with fudgy as eliminator. Maybe just as well as it solved the rest & before I used it, I was inclining towards gross for #2 and cling or fling for #3

The only difference here was I didn't have to use another eliminator. I was pleased with myself for guessing #1. I typed it in with some trepidation but it worked out.
I almost made a stupid mistake half way through though. I had crock ready to enter for #8 & realised whoa, nope, that can't be it! And if the K had not come up, I would have put power for poker. They always seem to choose poker and I always fancy power.😂

I don’t like the use of “admin”; all of these casual abbreviations are given the status of a whole word, over and over again.

EDIT

Your 2-row result is excellent!
