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 🤣

I jumped in with a guess with this. In hindsight, it wasn't a sensible move at all as there were several other possibilities but this word called to me.

My run of luck was starting to return to normal.
SpoilerI took a risk on turn 5 with stomp (could have been stock).
Hated spelling of #4 but couldn't be anything else that I could think of.
Then I got too cocky and went for #2 when I should have used eliminator as I could think of 3 words (may have been more, I don't know) I did worry with #7 too-burnt or brunt.
Hate #5 word.
Forgot to say-what I liked about the classic was as I went along, it was using all the letters I would normally have in my extra eliminators. I was rapt.
Yea, I agree re #5 word. It’s not the standard verb form. Pooh! Down with it!

I wasn't impressed with today's answer. American spelling alert. It is probably one of the last I would have considered had I not been forced to it.

Primo was a possible answer just recently, where the answer was prior if I recall correctly. I’m glad I had that final “o” in place, as otherwise I probably would have tried prior again.
Pulse is having something of an “appearing everywhere” time lately.
