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 🤣

Curious what the missing last letters were Springy. I know one would have ended in K, what did the other end in before getting the actual word?

I worried with my start word. Took a punt with the second word. My third could have been quite a few. I was super surprised when it came up.

I hate to admit it but I have forgotten what the answer was. If you tell me that, I can probably guess from there what I tried.

Almost made this in 9, but for one letter.

The final word was broom. I thought brook when I saw your answer. Then I realised brood could have been a word too.

I didn't go so well today.

My eliminator word was STALL. I then went with SPANK. That wasn't the word! It certainly gave me the answer though!

I was happy with this today. Surprised actually, to get it with the first real try.

I was fairly happy with this as apart from a couple of glitches, the words came easily.

Have been a bit short of time lately to do all the puzzles but hopefully can do the others later today.

A 2-rower!!!!!!!!

My starter was CATER. This gave me three yellows; there is no rhyme or reason for my guessing the whole word from that. I would normally just work carefully with eliminators, and I’d have guessed at row 3 or 4.

I just looked at it, and the word sprang to mind. Playing that word was a gut-driven risk.

I am in the groove here.
