WORDLE - anyone else trying the daily online word game?

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 🤣

Not a fail! The first word, I had the choice of 2. I went with the most obvious. It was the other word, which I actually thought of first!

 

I do that all the time!

 

I also choose the wrong order for letters most of the time.  eg. if I have the letters T S K A E,  and E is in the right position, I have the choice of SKATE or STAKE.  I always seem to choose the wrong one.  🙁

 

You would think the odds should be 50%, but I guess wrong about 90% of the time.

when faced with a choice between two, you need to start tossing a coin to decide which one to try.  When you look at the two options and choose one there is a subconscious subjective bias.  Tossing a coin would leave it to chance.

I was fortunate in having used one of my 3 favourite #2 elimination words which gave me one important letter, eliminated 2 further vowels, and also eliminated a letter position. I was left with one obvious choice for the word.

I used an elimination word in line 4 that I’ve not used before, based on 3 letters being possibles. As a result I now “had” the remaining 3 words.

always a good strategy to try words that are helpful in narrowing the choices in more than one quarter.
