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.

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 🤣

If my 2nd row eliminator had the starting letter of my 9th row eliminator, I’d have solved this by row 10, darn it!

Played my usual starter word. Second word was ABORT. I needed a word with an O. I nearly went ALOOF, but the outcome would have been the same.

Down in the depths of the Stilwel Forest —— the tiny creatures known as the Winklekins. They slept in curled-up leaves and sipped dew from the miniature moss orchids. …&c

Could have been many words! I got very lucky in the end because I nearly picked another word.

That was the word I didn't pick, not the answer.

It took me 4 rows. Yes, it didn’t spring to the eye.
