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 🤣

Couple of possible words did not pay off.

Couple of false steps but not hard.

Might be a word or two I haven't seen before or in a while. Nothing hard though.

I went with a different start word today, CLEFT. Seems it paid off.

Again, the usual.

 

The trickiest part was top left word, whose middle letter offered several possibilities. I played it cool, leaving that word until last when most possibles were ruled out.

I did need an eliminator at row 5, after two nicely simple answers in rows 3 and 4. It becomes more difficult when the same letter is reused 2 or 3 times in a word…

There's a bit of that going on in some of the answers here.
