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 🤣

Whimsical starters aren't proving a big success this evening.

I couldn't think of the 7th one till I wrote it out in hangman format with the possible letters underneath and then the answer was obvious.

We've seen some of the words before, but that seems to always be the case lately.

Oh wow. I don't think I have ever got it in two in my own right. I did the other day, but only because I used Countess's starter.

I live for the time one of my first words works out! Who knows, maybe even zebra will have its day!😁 (That's my granddaughter's favourite starting word)

 

PS adieu?

The second word took me a while to figure out although it wasn't a hard word. I was just toying with alternatives.

I was quite annoyed to see word 8 pop up again.

Yes. Turns out a work colleague uses that word as her starter too. 

 

Didn't go as well today.....

That said, it was a lucky guess with only one letter.
