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 🤣

That's the one that nearly did me in, too.  Congrats on your octordle. I needed every row I could get today!

My starter was PASTE. This must be among the best results I’ve had for Dordle.

 

 

Now to tackle Quordle…

Top left posed a bit of a challenge until row 5 ruled out a particular consonant. From then on, with no other vowels on the table, I knew that the vowel already in play must be duplicated, and that meant the yellow-tile consonant must be in the final position, and that left me with two possible word choices.

That last word… bottom right, I knew it must be with B or V.

Letters that can be arranged to make several different words. I chose the wrong ones.

I was reasonably happy with this today. Took a gamble on the bottom right-American spelling alert.

Also took a stab at bottom left. Didn't have much so figured the yellow might be a double.

Only just scraping in lately. I don't think I would have guessed the 7th one (bottom left) except I had the second letter in place and K1000's (I think it was) words came back to me-when you have that letter in second place, try this other letter in front of it.

I don’t think I could have guessed the word in fewer attempts.
