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 🤣

Do you know if Wordle is the same in the USA? Not the game, the puzzle answers by date? Was “Sassy”your answer a few days ago?

It’s the same.

CATER… SHINY… I could see only one possibility for the LH. Two possibles for RH - I was lucky.

I think it is the same. Maybe we get it a few hours before the USA though when it ticks into the new day here. I think sassy was the answer a few days back. 

Here's today's (Saturday's)

Everyone here (which is about 2 of us) knows I often start with alien so that will give you a heads up on the middle letter.

You do it on your Staurday (as I think you are in US?) and let us know, but I bet it is the same word as I know I have to go through NY Times to do it.

Pleased with this but to be honest, I got lucky with #4 as it could have been either of 2 words and I just happened to choose the right one first off, which rarely happens.😂

But a countess sort of score. Good start to the day!

I skated within a llama’s eyelash of the solution in row 2.

Ah well, 3 is perfectly fine. It would have been luck that guided me for a 2.

My most frequently used starter gave me a good piece of trellis-work for the LH word. I followed up with LOUGH. The rest is history.

Aha! I have broken the curse of 7!

My starter was SLATE, followed by 2nd row eliminator ROUGH. I could solve bottom right immediately, and top left could yield no other answer than the correct one. In short order thereafter, the remaining two fell to my word-siege… not much of a siege, really, but it was a nicer analogy than saying I simply knocked on the door.
