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 🤣

SLATE was my starter. I played my first eliminator, which was - surprisingly - the LH word!

I played another eliminator - PINKY - and had a pool of about 10 possibilities. The word I chose was NOT the solution, but it was an anagram of it. I was home and dry… but how odd that, given all the good luck, I still made it only with 5…

TRACE was a rip-roaring success of a starter for today’s QUORDLE. I only came to a halt with bottom left, where the possibilities were many. I decided on NYMPH as my eliminator, which narrowed things down to the right pattern, at least (more by absence than by presence). That still left me with 5 possibilities; I took a risk in trying out one of the options rather than playing another eliminator.

TRACE again for my starter… 

I don’t think I could have done better than 52 for this, had I used a different starter.

Interesting!

New word for RH.

I used TRACE and FILMY as starter and 2nd row eliminator.

Once I saw that yellow letter, I couldn't think of anything else the answer could be. Took me a while to work it out though.

Back into the 60s.

It's because ZI jumped in with a guess for #7 on turn 3 and it was wrong, so I then used another eliminator at turn 4, which I probably would have been better to do at turn 3.

My starter LOUIS gave me a necessary clue.
