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 🤣

I knew it was one of two likely words… It could have been either the destroying word or the pampering word.

CATER was my starter. This was not an easy Dordle; there are many word possibilities and one has a lot to rule out.

Top left could have wasted my number of moves; I used an eliminator for both it and bottom left. I’m glad I did.

Yes, I know the feeling.😂

Here's my wordle for today. I was amazed to get it in 3, to be honest. I only tried out the 3rd word as it used a few extra useful letters.

I made a wrong turn on #6. I could guess the probable shape of the word, but picked the wrong one.

weedy. And in hindsight I should have known better, as beefy has been out before. Somewhere.
And some other words such as shyly and knoll have made repeat performances.

Hmmm. I did almost make a guess for the word in row 2, but there were quite a few possibilities; I opted for an eliminator.

This was a challenge. I started with TAPER.

I found this very satisfying. SCARE and LOUGH were my starters, and I could dive into 2L with a high degree of confidence. There was no stopping me from that point onwards.

I’d already ruled out D, so I had that advantage.

Strangely the S-—- word was the first one for me to solve, mostly because of the vowels it couldn’t have.

The K word couldn’t have been anything else…
