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.

It reminds me of a somewhat infamous cryptic clue I’d posted…

Vowels, it's all about the vowels...............or lack thereof.

No correct letters in the first try… 2 green letters and 1 yellow in the second. That led me to the almost complete knowledge of the answer. Third guess… yes, I had it.

Well! That second word was unexpected… At least it hasn’t been played before, so there’s less of that déjà vu experience.

The top left and bottom left were easy; the other two required an extra elimination word for more consonants.

It was all going so well before the 4th word (2nd row, 2nd word).

Took me all 6 goes today, because it really could have been many words with the same 4 last letters.
