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 🤣

The most likely letters were gone by my 3rd guess, so I looked at the two letters that I knew were there, mentally shifted the yellow letter from try #2 into either spot 2 or spot 4, contemplated the vowel issue, and contemplated the remaining consonants. The same solution could apply… and in fact, I could see no other immediate solution, given the letters already knocked out.

Apparently the Yanks were REALLY peeved off at "bloke" being the answer the other day. Twitter went into complete meltdown according to the news page. How is it any different to an answer of "humor" or "favor", which is not how every other country spells them? Oh, I forgot, Americans only care about America. To hell with the rest of the world, which in their eyes doesn't even exist (most think Australia is the size of Hawaii, so you can't blame them for not giving a toss).

There once was a Wordle - ‘twas “bloke”
Which caused US Wordlers to choke.
They're fine with aluminum;
Valor is boomin’
… um… does British English provoke?

Got off to a bad start this morning with it but at least the first guess eliminated some vowels.
