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 🤣

Could quite possibly have solved this in 2 if I had taken extra time, as the green placements limited the possibilities. But extra eliminators always help in some way and I do like 'easier'.😁

Quite an easy one but I pushed my score out by jumping in with a wild guess at turn 2 (and being wrong) then trying a logical but incorrect guess at turn 3.

I tried carob instead of our beloved snakey friend. I should have known better!😅

Quite possibly won't be on for a couple of days. I tell you now, I am looking forward to the school holidays from next week.

Looking at your revealed letters for Wordle, springyzone, I think you were wise to play that 2nd row eliminator.

My first was TASER, and I followed with DOILY. After that, I had each letter and no need to guess a single thing. Darn it… I like a bit more of a challenge!

It was that final word (top right) which added an extra row to my end result. One letter could have been a number of things.

I’d have got this in 10 if it weren’t for that pesky word in 2R. One letter’s difference,..

Highly satisfying. I was strategic with my second word, and was able to guess the answer almost immediately.
