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 🤣

 Quordle is usually the most frustrating of these games - for me, at least. I’m always glad when I break the 7.

too many options after 2nd line, used non-double letters at 3 & 4

I wasn't feeling lucky at all after my first 2 turns. At least I knew some letters that couldn't be in it, but a hint of a consonant would have been nice.

I did have a sort of suspicion about the shape of the word, so instead of crypt as my 3rd word, I tried pricy.

It still left a few possibilities and #4 was another eliminator, I knew it could not be the answer. I was lucky to get it in 5, to tell the truth.

I was happy with this, although the score is punishment for using 3 eliminators before I started solving.

After my second turn, I had a strong hunch about #1 and #3.

In fact, I almost went with my guess for #3 then and there and I probably should have. Fortune favours the brave.

I also had a strong hunch about #2 early on.

CRAVE 🎯
      I had chosen N in my Wordle, so my gut was saying “Not the N again”. It was either CRANE or CRAVE.

LOUGH <- needed an eliminator

PICKY was my most satisfying guess. I had only a C… so I needed to choose from the unplayed letters.

PRISM - it was either that or PRIMP.
