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 🤣

I just checked my Wordle screen and it’s still filled out, telling me that the next Wordle word will be in roughly 1 hr 25 min…

My first word was “share”.

I'm thinking that 4/5/6/7 is as good as it would normally get for Quordle.

You might get one quarter after the second word, but would then need to input your 3rd word to get more letters for the others.  Then you would have it in 3/5/6/7

don't know if I will ever beat this 3/5/6/7 Quordle.

Wordle 247 2/6

🟨🟨⬜🟩⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

my best result ever!

[k1ooo-slr-sales]

I like that at the top of Quordle there is a "Practice" button (and you can do more than 1).

I will use abbreviations for each quarter (Left, Right, Top, Bottom)

Using my first three words:

BIRTH

ALONE

DUMPS

I get the following:

By using MORON in the BR as my next word I would locate the "M" in the BL corner.

Can then complete TL or BL

Would need a guess of "F" or "C" for TR

Using this 3 word 15 letter method I would get 4/5/6/7 or 4/5/6/8 depending on my guess in TR.

Wordle 247 2/6

Yes!

(A good stare gave me a start, and I decided not to use doubled letters.)

That is spooky, k1ooo, that we’ve both got it in 2 today. I wonder how many here will match that nice little number?

I meant to post earlier - a few days ago - about Wordle being similar, in a way, to Cluedo. Just think of each letter hiding in the billiard room or the library … It’s that element of elimination that I love.

That’s a good outcome, springy.

Today’s Quordle worked out quite well:
