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 🤣

Yesterday I started Octordle but only got about 3 words in and I had to go out. I meant to return to it later but forgot so now I'll never know what the words were. You did extremely well though. Almost down to the 40s!!

Today's wordle:

Wordle 853 4/6

⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
⬛⬛🟨🟩⬛
⬛🟨🟨🟩⬛
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I just didn't have enough information to wrangle it down any faster. By turn 2 I only had 2 vowels, which is a start but a consonant would have been handy!

Octordle I was very pleased with, I took one look  and thought "Oh wow, a countess score!". Admittedly you may do better on this today, but I often think of 52 as being your sort of default score.

The last word took me a  while as I only had one letter (a vowel) exposed till row 8 & that still only gave me one other letter. The answer was the only word I could think of with what was left.  I usually find with words like that, that letters get double use.

I was pretty pleased that my first guess after the intitial 2 words paid off. Maybe there were other alternatives, I don't know, but the answer was the only one that came to mind.

I quite enjoyed octordle today but a couple of wrong (though close) guesses kept me from breaking the 60 barrier.

Just realised you posted this today.

I was a 52 yesterday but sadly, only a 61 today.

There's always tomorrow though!!

It was yesterday’s Octordle, though… I just finished it in time before midnight. Posting it took another minute or two, as this page on my phone danced about a bit.

If I had used a different eliminator, I wouldn’t have guessed this in 3.

I’m amazed that I guessed the LH word so quickly.
