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 🤣

My eliminator word ruled out most of the possible letters, so that I could confidently guess the word in row 3.

We’ve seen the word on the right too frequently.

I had to use an eliminator for the top left word… Three letter possibilities.

I was lucky that 2 of my common eliminator words had the letters I needed.

 

But this will probably be as far as I can keep up with you, countess. 😄

Lucky with RH word, as seeing where that first yellow letter could not go really helped.

I really had to think about these words. The first word, I went with an anagram and had to change things around.

At least I got through today. Wasted turns on that first word. I was so sure I had it with quilt, then guilt. Grrr.

There were several words I could have gone for. I chose one that I don't remember using before. Lucky guess!

I was very happy with my Quordle results today. I don't normally do so well.

I got Octordle out again! I did struggle with top right. Only got it on the last try. Stoked with second right getting it in 2 guesses. That's a miracle for me!

I was happy with this today, although having 2 letters in place from the get go was a massive help.
