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 🤣
Solved! Go to Solution.

I tried dordle with the same starter word (just for fun).
The yellows in the second word were 3 different letters which could have made a few things. Always the way, isn't it.

I still don't know how I got the first Dordle word. Probably Covid brain. I seriously thought I'd lost it today. Not looking forward to Quordle and Octordle!!! Watch this Covid brain space.

I had the choice of 2 words in my head. Once again, I chose the wrong one! Still not a fail, and that's all that matters!
Spoiler alert........there are no Zs in the word!!!

s&d, 4 is a decent score. So much rides on the choice of the second word.,,

Word 2 …? Only guessed because based upon what letters I’d eliminated, and upon which yellow letters couldn’t be in which spots, there was only one word possibility left.

I was lucky with word 4. The 2nd letter could have been any 1 of 3. I guessed correctly, and that’s sheer luck.

I'll be doing the other Ordle's in the morning.
