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 🤣

I wasn't feeling inspired after the first 2 turns.
I thought maybe ebony but after that, I was a blank.
I tried fudgy for 3rd word and was totally thrown to get G. I had expected the Y, if anything.

Some of the rise in score comes down to a slef inflicted injury.😑

As is often the case for me, I set off briskly at the start but half way down, felt torn between alternatives. So I used another eliminator. GRUMP.
Then instead of jumping in to solve count (as I had eliminated mount, which I considered the likely alternative), I had a brainwave about #8.
This is where I go wrong, I don't double check before I press enter. I already had that last E in place, but nope, I looked at it and thought d/g exposed and O, oooh got it, dodgy.
No sooner thought than on my fingers

Well, I wanted to edit to change the spelling in the previous post to Self, but do you think the system will let me? Nope.

These were all working out nicely, one word leading to the next. Till the end.
spilt/stilt.
I feel that (or something very similar) has popped up before and I think the answer then was stilt. In any case, I went for spilt and it was wrong. Not too much damage done as it was right at the end.
