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 starter was STARE.

 

I immediately suspected what the answer might be. There was also a possibility of a past or present tense feeling of fullness, but I gauged those less likely; if I was wrong, I’d have lost nothing but a turn.

This did feel more like a smooth jaunt than a tired scrambling for corpses. (Sorry - the Dordle gave so little reward…) 

I quite enjoyed the Quordle. My starter was CATER and my 2nd was LOUGH.

I have a feeling we have seen the LH word before at some stage?

My starter was aside.

Today's word is a common enough one but took me a while to figure out what it could be. I knew my 3rd try was not 'it' but I was convinced the yellow letter would go before the green and when I discovered it didn't, that really only left one spot it could go.

Was going okay but made a stupid guess at # 5 on RH side. Forgot I knew the last letter.

Not hard words but lots of alternatives.

My wrong attempts-flail, burst and crust.

Not my finest hour, but I got there.😁

 

I don't know why, but with one square, all I could think of was poopy. As soon as I tried it, I realised what the answer would more likely be.😂
