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.

Some eliminations were necessary, but apart from one at row 3, I had enough luck to glean the elimination information from the words themselves.
My starter was SCARE, and the row 3 eliminator was PHONY.

I feel so left out of the Two-Row Club.

I was fixated on solving the LHS. Wasted a turn trying out the word 'bogan' but knew it was a long shot as it isn't really an American term. But once I got it into my head, I couldn't think of anything else.
I think I would have been better today to have started with ocean, but them's the breaks!

Only just got in with this.
#1, I could see several words it could be so I left it till a few more letter possibilities were eliminated. Sure enough, it was something that would have been right down the list in choices.

Had some serious interruptions during this (with grandkids, breakfast etc) but no excuse, I missed one. I could guess what it was going to be though by that stage. Just no more turns left.
I used different starters today. Main reason I ran out of turns was I took a while to get anywhere and then tried 2 words that were credible but wrong. They were verse and toxic.

New starter today.
Solution is another borderline strange word to use. Common enough, mind you.
