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 🤣

This felt as if it had a few repeat words in it. I am sure giant has popped up somewhere not too long ago.

I felt I needed another eliminator half way through. I forget exactly what 'possibiles' I had in mind but I wanted to know if W or F were in or out. It is amazing the words they allow and don't allow. We had legit the other day, but the word flowy was not accepted as my eliminator. I used fawny instead.

Similar sort of path for this one. No downright stupid errors, but another eliminator half way through.

#2 is probably the one I had the most choices for-chuck was first to mind, but chump second and chuff next. I thought #6 might be remit. Glad i used eliminator comfy, as it gave me the start to #5 and I had been stuck on that one.
