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.

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 🤣

Luck played a part.

 

 

 

I’d use this word to describe a large guy working as a bouncer.

One letter between the two words is the only link.

I did actually ponder for a few hours. I tried multiple words, but they weren't actually words. Then one worked.

You'll need a couple of the less commonly used letters that aren't as likely to be in your eliminators.

If I’d gone for the whimsical starter that first sprang to mind, I would have had this in 2 rows.

 

Oh well!

I was off to a slow start, but my 2nd row word was more useful than it might appear.

I’m annoyed with myself for needing a row 5 eliminator.

I started to worry that I may have needed all 6 goes to get this one! Second word was "wormy". I needed a word with an O.
