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.

Started with a different word today. The second word was purely an eliminator! It made me feel a bit under the weather.

Could have been a few words. I got lucky.

My starter was SPINY. I followed that with GROAT.
This was one of the easiest Dordles.

Bottom Right word is one I’ve encountered quite often without the 1st and 3rd letters… P, B, K, X - which? Which? (I’d already ruled out other possibilities.)
Pure luck guided me to the correct choice.

CATER was my starter. I could have tried the answer in row 2, but there were still other possibilities… so I used an eliminator. Well! That settled it.

Top right was tricky! Top left just became a matter of elimination.
