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.

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 🤣

Better luck today. I was surprised actually.

I tried out a word just for what I thought might be the placement for the 2 yellows, plus it had some useful extra letters. And it was 'it'!

Excellent result, springyzone.

I forgot to post my results!!! And it’s too late now, so I shall just post the new round.

Fairly straightforward — I had no trouble with bottom right, but after that first guess, I needed two eliminators to make any further headway.

I did my wordle before logging in here.

It was sneaky, as you said! I actually didn't consider the answer till the very end.

After turn 2, the first possibility to pop into my head was actually orion, but I thought that unlikely so went with union, which pleased me as it tried out the last unused vowel. I felt sure I would be right.

When it wasn't, it took me a while to figure out what else it could be.

Nowhere near your results but at least I got through. Score was pushed out by a couple of wrong guesses (swore & lithe) but I don't feel bad about them as they were logical guesses at that time.

Round the opposite way to you, I noticed.
