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 🤣

My second word was to eliminate all possible letters.

There were three possible answers for the left word, after line 3. As it happened, any one of the three would have narrowed it down to the answer. I had a piece of luck in my line 4 guess being the answer. (1 in 3 chance.)

The last word (bottom right) could have been a few things. I only chose the word I did choose because it’s been used before, and the letters were less usual then the other possibilities.

One elimination word and one incorrect guess (where there were 3 possibilities - I think I got a bit overconfident)… but it’s an okay result.

Here we go - a special broccoli-and-cheese serving for you:

C R A T E   💣 💣 💣 💣 💣

R O U N D   💣 🥦 🥦 💣 🧀

G O U D A   🥦 🥦 🥦 🥦 🥦

There we go! A nice cheesy answer for you.

Not the real answer.

No cheeses were harmed in this post - but I think I'm going to raid the fridge and take a slice of brie.

CORRECTION!!!!!!!!!!

C R A T E   💣 💣 🧀 💣 💣

R O U N D   💣 🥦 🥦 💣 🧀

G O U D A   🥦 🥦 🥦 🥦 🥦

One missing cheese to replace a bomb, because of the letter A.

I'm feeling the bombs aren't a good match with cheese and broccoli.

I like the bombs in a way as they convey the message. Not sure what the cheese and broccoli should be though.

Was it the quordle? Yesterday I did dordle and didn't get the cheese etc then realised it was only quordle that had gone rogue.😁
