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 🤣
Solved! Go to Solution.

Had I tried the third word first, I think I would have solved this in 2.
But that's life!
I don't think I am going to get time for the others as it is almost midnight.

Feeling a bit time pressured and just guessing quickly. Made a simple mistake on one of them.

Ha! Well, I found out what happens when the midnight hour strikes. I was on the last quarter of quordle when the whole thing disappeared. It did warn me it was going to reset.
I had wondered if any games opened before midnight could finish at leisure but the answer is no.

Well, that reminded me of my recent midnight’s-approaching panic run!

Today's octordle. It took me forever. I made a stupid mistake on the first word. I had 3 of the middle letters in place and could guess the last letter so looked at what was left in my little trove of unused letters and chose the only one that could fit. It was wrong. Then I noticed I already had the first letter way up near the top, I'd just missed taking it into account.
If you get the 4th (and I didn't straight off) then that solves the second one.

It could have been a couple of words but this time I chose the right one to go with.

After getting a yellow tile status for one letter, for the word on the left, I knew the word must be one of two possibilities.
The word on the right - again, two possibilities. I went for the squashed mosquito on the windscreen rather than the promise.

Warning: bottom right will be tricky if you haven’t played some consonants earlier (to rule them out). I was left with - once again - 2 possibilities (one of which is a US spelling), and luckily chose the right one.

The trickiest word was bottom right, as there were a few possibilities for its starting letter.
