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.

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 🤣

The second word was pretty straight forward. The first, I tried a word a word at turn 5, knowing it could not be 'it' but just wanting to see if I was on the right path with some of the suspected letter placement. It helped.

That bottom right completely defeated me. I don't know that I have ever seen it written that way. We live and learn. I would never have guessed it without more turns, anyway.

I knew bottom right must have another use of the vowel; that meant I had 4 letters, and that gave me one answer.

That didn’t feel as easy as the score indicates.

It just didn’t work for me any better than a row 4 solution.

There were two traps in this (top left and bottom right). It was nothing tangible in this, warning me of a certain possibility; it was a gut feeling that the Quordle was pulling the old “reuse, reuse” trick.
