WORDLE - anyone else trying the daily online word game?

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 🤣

A row 8 eliminator needed. Most of the words have popped up before.

Tried a different starter, figured the same starter as yesterday probably wouldn't cut it today, but actually it would have been slightly better than what i went with. Oh the irony of it all!

Octordle nearly defeated me on the 5th word. I could sort of make a logical word, it sounded like a name but the spelling wasn't right for that. It sort of sounded like a time of year but missing a letter. But I tried it anyway and it ended up correct. Just looked up the meaning-a  chemical compound, apparently. Can't say I have ever heard of it.

From memory, I had ruled out 'a', I was thinking of the name Esther and Easter but of course I knew both were incorrect-little matter of  having 6 letters each, if nothing else. 🙂

I only worked it out eventually because I knew where most known letters couldn't be.
