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 🤣

2nd left was a nice new addition, and 4 left + 4 right were right out of Tolkien.

The 3rd along (second left) wasn't a word I would normally think of but apart from having almost all the letters, I had that pivotal last letter in correct spot, which helped.

Did you like the bottom block of TROLL BLOOD, springyzone?
on 20-09-2022 10:33 PM
I don't know about like, but they sure follow that pattern we sometimes see of trying to think what letter could go in a spot and realising there are no new letters needed, just reuse something already there, or have double letters. Have we had troll before? It looks familiar somehow.

Oh yes. Troll is not a newcomer.
