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 🤣

My starter was LOUIS, which didn’t get me far… but at least my next, TRACE, let me guess the RH word.

I used COAST as my starter… I didn’t really feel confident with the first word solved, as I kept muttering “They wouldn’t use that word, would they?”

I am amazed… I didn’t expect this.

There’s no denying that it helps to have one of words turn out to be one of my eliminators (LINGO)…

That was a fantastic octordle result!! Outstanding.

I don't think I have ever had my first word come up as an answer, or not that I can recall anyway.

Today's wordle.

I risked an eliminator with a letter I don’t usually play – at least, not so early in the game. I did so because of another letter that popped up as yellow in my starter.

This was a very nice little puzzle. I enjoyed solving it, in spite of my starter being largely unhelpful.

A bit tricky…

Not as pleasing as I’d wanted… I guessed wrongly with one letter at row 4.

After my first word, I wasn't hopeful of solving it any time soon. Second word helped, although there was more than one possible answer, I just got lucky.

I had far more on which to go than you, springyzone… so I had no excuse not to do as well as you.

My starter was LOUIS..
