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 got excited when I saw all the greens come up in the second word! It could only have been one word after that.

I felt pretty pleased with my 3rd try, considering I only knew one letter, but it took a while to get the right ending.

Curious what the missing last letters were Springy. I know one would have ended in K, what did the other end in before getting the actual word?

I worried with my start word. Took a punt with the second word. My third could have been quite a few. I was super surprised when it came up.

I’m annoyed with myself for taking 4 rows… but I’m fighting a headache and feeling irritable anyway. I scowled at the bolognese sauce and glared at the béchamel. The finished lasagne didn’t lighten my spirits… Rotten little headache.

Two word possibilities for LH word. And I chose the word that wasn’t the answer…

This was fine. TRACE and LOUGH started things odd.
