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.

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 🤣

The left hand word pretty much had to be one of two choices. Naturally, I chose the wrong one.

I had to think about a few of these but it ran fairly smoothly.

It was a bit unusual in that none of the words contained one particular vowel or one fairly common consonant.

A couple of familiar friends in this bunch of answers.

springyzone, I was very naughty. I saw your post, and played a hunch about which of my starters it might be, and based on that I chose between i, or p, or g.

I hit the jackpot. This is probably the ONLY time I’ll have a 1-row win! (And I don’t feel I earned it, as I used your guess which gave me prior knowledge.)

With me, it was the word on the right that posed me with a choice. W or S… I made my choice based on past patterns, and it was right.

One of my early eliminators knocked out the P. That helped with one of the words.

Yes, no new words in this one…

Yes, no novelties, but it was satisfying enough. I needed to solve block 2 left before tackling block 2 right.

You deserved it, it was your starter!!😁 I am glad someone got it in one although I think another member did as well some months ago. I forget who it was now.

And I never even thought of i as an alternative. Just as well, as given my usual style, I would have gone with it.

As it has ticked over midnight I thought I'd do wordle at least before bed.

After my first try, I wasn't very confident I would get anywhere fast but the second word was more helpful, I'll have to admit. And it was a variation on one of your starters. I thought lightning never struck twice?
