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 🤣

You'd think it would be easy with the first 2 letters in place but I could think of a few possibilities so used a 3rd eliminator.

Wasn't too bad.

Not sure if we have seen words 1 & 4 out before. Not that they are hard words or unusual, just can't recall seeing them in the game before.

Amusing, as after my first couple of turns, I didn't have much to show but I did notice no vowels so I went for another fav eliminator of mine, crypt, and it was it.

I didn't find this too bad and the only hold up I had was on turn 5, where I tried speed for word 2, but I was able to see exactly what the answer had to be after that.

#3, wasn't sure if it would be brush or crush till towards the end but medic cleared up that question.

I don't think I could have solved this any faster than 4 today.

After my second turn, I had e,n and o.
Mt very first thought was borne, but then I thought, maybe venom or enjoy or even envoy. 
I never thought of endow at all till I got the D on my 3rd turn.

Not my greatest moment. 😁

I wasted time and turns on #6. First i tried stomp, then I tried stood. Then I left the word alone, which is what I should have done in the first place.
