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 🤣
Solved! Go to Solution.

Well, I was satisfied with that - but then saw you’d done it so beautifully in 2, springyzone!

Springyzone, you’ve outdone yourself today!
I hope your nephew will be feeling better soon. Poor boy. It sounds upsetting.

very happy with a 3 after a lean start. Rather than try an eliminator I just went for it. Fortune favours the brave.

One wrong letter on the last word.

I did wordle & octordle on phone yesterday while away.
I recall I got wordle in 3. I cannot for the life of me recall the actual word but I think it may have started with a green S and finished with a green L and I had a couple of other letters to play with, so the answer was obvious after 2 turns.
Octordle, I got about 63.
Today:

Chose the wrong words in a couple of spots. Set me back!

Today’s Octordle was one of the more challenging ones. I had a sense very early on that there would be tricksy bits of whimsical misdirection, so a couple of times I paused and avoided solving a word that seemed worth a guess, in order to try somehow to scrape more data from what was there.

😂Didn't we all! Never mind, glad to see you're human. Today's another day.
Beware today's wordle. After my usual 2 turns, I had it narrowed down to 2 possibilities (that I could think of, anyway). I suspected it might be the tricky one but went for the more conventional word. Wrong.
