WORDLE - anyone else trying the daily online word game?

[k1ooo-slr-sales]

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 was really happy with this! Better than my usual tries.

What helped was knowing which letters were definitely not in it.

My starter was good, but my second gave me very limited information.

You definitely outplayed me on this one, springyzone!

 Bottom right could have been two other words, but I made the right guess.

Block 3R could have been two other words; again I was lucky.

The rest was easy.

I feel like this is groundhog day. Now my granddaughter is sick with vomiting. She started with it on the weekend so is here for a couple of days but the way things are going, I am not sure Wednesday will be a goer either.

And I have a set of sheets to change. The joys of grandparenting.

starter was shout. It was a great help as I then got 2 other letters and knew they were limited to 3 spots.

I had 3 words in my head that I wanted to try. I figured this word would at least eliminate one of the other words and confirm one of the others. I jagged it!

When I look back at other words it could be, it was actually more than 3 it could be.

Not my greatest result but at least I got through.

I didn't start to solve till my 5th turn.

Made some false moves, close but incorrect tries.

The wrong turns were decal and knell.

Springyzone, your poor granddaughter! And yes, I can imagine that this feels like Nauseated Groundhog Day.

I hope she feels better soon and I hope you are not overwhelmed.
