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 🤣

Springy last posted on the 9th… but she did mention that she was going on a cruise (although I don’t know when, exactly).

If she's on a cruise, that's OK then! Good for her!

Yes, been in the south pacific  and I didn't pay for an internet package. I can never work out how to post results from my phone anyway. So my phone was turned off over the past couple of weeks. Relied on my daughter as everything is done by phone nowadays.

Time away hasn't made me any faster on wordle.

Not hard as such. A few words with double letters needed.

My 2nd row eliminator ruled out most possibilities, so I knew which letter must be first. It was down to two possible answers.

TASER was my starter, and I can’t really say what my second row eliminator was, as it turned to be the answer to L3.
