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 🤣

Yes, again it’s the usual result. Top right was trickiest.

Right…! That’s better. 

My starter was TRACE. From that I was able to deduce the top right word – with a high but not perfect degree of certainty.

Better today than yesterday.

I knew what number 3 answer was but had to juggle the letters as I'd forgotten exactly how to spell it.

I missed the top right but only because I thought a couple of other combinations were more likely. I guess I could have done an eliminator word instead to  uncover the letter. I still think my  original solution was better than the word they close.😂

I was pretty happy with today! My usual starter word, ADIEU. My second word was AMBER. It wasn't that LOL!

I had 3 letters and oh my, I was sorely tempted to try out Countess's lough, which I have often seen her mention. But the fact is, I had never heard of that word until countess used it, so I deemed it as 'unlikely' to be the answer. Too unusual? So I had to rethink.

But countess may well get this word in 2.
