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 🤣

I used SLIMY as my starter, and HAUNT as my 2nd row eliminator.

I started with LOUGH, then FRIED and PANTY. After that, I knew what both words must be.

This was tough!

I started with SANER, DOILY and then CHUMP. The first two words (bottom and top left) came quickly after than, but the top right took a minute. Bottom right was the trickiest.

Not an easy Octordle, I must admit.

CATER was my starter, and my 2nd row eliminator was LOUGH. I needed another eliminator at row six - WIMPS.

I didn't get around to them all yesterday but I did do wordle and octordle on my phone. I recall that wordle took 4 turns and I got octordle but the score was about 67. I didn't have time to post. I did once manage to do it with the phone as I chanced on my ebay login password but that was a bit of luck.

On my computer I am logged in so it isn't the same rigmarole.

Ta-da! Got it in 3.

You'd think that with the 1st 3 letters plus the last letter in place, this would have been a piece of cake but even so, I was sitting there, pondering a couple of alternative choices.

Pleased with today's score. I did make a couple of wrong guesses but the first 5 words at least fell like dominoes.

For a minute, I thought we were going to have a repeat of one of the octordle answers but just a head's up, this one is slightly different.

First row didn't go well! Second word I needed a word with an O, so was surprised with 3 letters. The third word could have been a few words.
