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 🤣

STALE was my starter.

 

The bot was so incredibly sycophantic today. It went on and on about my excellent 2nd row word, exclaiming in tones of treacly admiration about how it removed all possible solutions except for one. I just couldn’t get it to shut up.

 

My second word was a bird-like sound.

Surprising. I had a wrong guess on row 8 (poison instead of the more highly compressed evil character it should have been), but apart from that, this Octordle practically solved itself.

 

My starter was TRACE.

Starting with CATER, this Quordle was slow and steady with the usual 7.

OMG 46, what a wonderful score!

 

I went okay today on wordle, not so great on octordle, couple of false starts but got there in the end.

I might try the others later, I have the day to myself. I tested positive to covid yesterday so won't be going out today. The only thing that made me test was having a slightly watery nose and feeling some chills with a slight headache. Nothing like the full on migraine I had last year so I am hoping this is over in a couple of days. Guess we'll see! I went out for lunch yesterday too and had a good time, that was before I tested of course and symptoms not really there at that stage. Just hope I haven't passed anything on.

Nothing great. Coupke of false starts. Thought power was likely at one stage

Had to think about some of these and used another eliminator at 4 but on the whole, not bad.

I started with CRATE, which was helpful.

 

The bot was jealous of my second row eliminator. I saw the green in his eyes. It ruled out all possibilities but one.
