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 🤣
Solved! Go to Solution.

My best score, but....
I was going really well and only had the 4th word to solve, with 4 more turns to go. Unfortunately I only had 2 letters. Got all the word next turn except for that first letter and I wasted 3 turns before I got it.

The overall feeling here is an underground criminal organisation headed by a clumsy hotel manager.

Yes… it was okay. I was influenced by previous words that have appeared in these puzzles.

The same block 2 right problem… There were 3 possibilities, and I chose an incorrect tone first.
Otherwise, it was smooth enough.

This one took me a while too, but I was lucky to at least have the starting letter. That narrows things down a lot.

Process of elimination of spots for some letters with that first word, or it was for me.

For me, that first word was a matter of working out where the letters couldn't go.

Weirdly, I was thinking of the word at row 2, but didn’t play it as I wanted to try a different vowel. At least I got the word on row 3.
