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 am a total idiot, I should never have gone for this straight off.
I looked at the first word and thought... Hmm, ai is probably together. I know, it must be waist! Plus if it is wrong, it covers S/T. What else can it be?
And I rushed in with it.
I am now thinking, dairy/fairy. How did I not think of them earlier?
I definintely would have gone dwarf or some such eliminator second had I given it any more thought.

I was going along okay for a little while, but I was obsessing over #2, bully or bulky.  #4 fever or fewer.
#6 beast or feast. #8 flick or click.
I was on the wrong track for most of them.😂
At least I only got #2 wrong (had not thought of burly), but that solved #6 (had forgotten about yeast as a possibility) and now fewer and fever were both out of the running as well. At least I knew then it wasn't flick.
So I got there, but not fast.

This one, some of the spots I had to think about for a while, even at the start.
I was leaning toward puffy for #4 but knew puppy was in the running, so solving kappa first was a bonus.
And I knew scamp was a possibility for #5 but I liked scarp more. Ah well, you should be right with that one, although it is an unusual octordle today in that none of the words contain R or T.
