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 🤣

I got the RH word, only because I had 3 letters in place and the other 2 letters known.

I missed the left word completely and had to admit, if I had had one more turn, I would have typed in 'hover'.

That bottom right word pops up too frequently for my liking.

I was stumped at that 6th one for a while.  I had just about all the letters in place, mind you. 4 out of 5. I could not figure out what the 5th could be till I thought-recycle!

By end of row 2, there were 2 possible words; I chose the less severe alternative.

Eliminator for one letter of right word is all-important.

I needed a row 5 eliminator; without it, I’d have been stumped.

That final word (block 3, right) had me running around in circles; I would have made a mistake if I’d not had a row 10 eliminator.

Luck. I used a starter that worked out.

Same starter as for Wordle.

 

Left word was obviously one of two words, and I chose the wrong one first. Ah well.

Different starter…

 

I could have guessed bottom left and top right in row 3, but it would still have left me in a quandary with bottom right in particular.
