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 bad. There’s something pleasing in pinning down a word by eliminating other possibilities.

My standard Quordle result; I’m reasonably happy with it, especially with bottom left word.

Quite tricky. I was rather uncertain about the final word.

Failed Dordle today. The answer could have been either of 2 words. As usual, I picked the wrong one!

Haven't done Octordle yet.

 

Hope you feel better soon Countess. I hope it's not the Rona that is making you feel unwell. It knocked us around. We're not fully recovered yet, but getting there slowly.

Thank you both. It’s not COVID; just one of the symptoms that occasionally lays me low. (Cervical radiculopathy.)

 

 


Back to Wordle… and ha. A simple word knocked me off my perch. 4 tries…

I had to share this one - how's that for a lucky guess on the second word!
