WORDLE - anyone else trying the daily online word game?

[k1ooo-slr-sales]

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 🤣

Well, now, that’s a good result. SPACE was my starter. I made a bit of a guess for bottom right, as there were at least 4 possibilities… but I was right in my guess. That tiff dd by stop me from having to use an eliminator at row 3, but after that it all went perfectly,

My starters were human and poise.

Oh Springy, I hope your grandbaby is OK. Don't worry about the puzzles, you need to worry about your grandbaby. That is the priority. 

Hope to see you back here soon. That means everything is good in Springy Grandbaby Land. That's what matters.

I only see my grands twice a year due to distance, but if I hear they are sick, it crushes me. They aren't even blood relatives, they are my step son's kids, but I love them like my own, as I do him (he was 7 when he came into my life, and is now 34, so we've been a part of each other's life for a long time!). I am their grandmother in their eyes, they are my grandkids in my eyes (despite never having kids of my own). I would walk over crushed glass to save them. 

See you when you get back!

The gods were on my side tonight! It was purely a guess. My start word was adieu. I only had the U as a vowel, so felt there should be an O in there somewhere. I nearly went with round!

I hope Springy's little one is OK. 

[countessalmirena]

Yes, I hope so too. Little children are precious and their care is more important than can be imagined.

You made a terrific guess in getting Wordle by row 2. 

I had played SNARE as my row 2 indicator… so 

I’d really no excuse to have the answer by row 3!

I knew the word on the right for certain after row 2 (and suspected it after row 1). I delayed playing it in the hopes of getting more information for the word on the left. I still found myself with three possibilities for the first letter, but at least I’d ruled out two other possibles.

This was never going to be a quick easy solution.

Bottom right was surprisingly difficult to guess.

I had to leave block 2 left until last, to try and narrow down what letters might be used there. I was able to whittle it down to two possibilities and I went with the most obvious one.
