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.

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 🤣

My starter was TRACE and my first eliminator was BOUGH. I was able to go straight though with these.

Back!

I couldn't even do wordle when I was away, let alone post results. I had cancelled credit card & was waiting for new one to arrive,  & in meantime, phone provider tried to auto renew and of course failed, so no phone connection till I can sort that out.

Once I had the first green in place, I suspected where the other 2 letters had to go.

I used TRACE as my starter, and had a gut feeling and simply went for it.

I was very pleased with this. A six is as good as it gets, except for an astonishing miracle defying gravity, quantum mechanics, and the proclamation of the Quordle King,

Oh saliva-dribbled pantaloons of hell! 

I nearly, nearly got this in 10, but no; I ran into trouble at row 8 needing another eliminator (PYLON).
