Has anyone tried the game 'Wordle' yet?

It's a website based game that only refreshes the puzzle once a day. It's pretty simple, but challenging enough to be addictive.

"Is it possible to play wordle from previous days ?"

I don't think so. Part of the charm of it is that it's one shot a day.

And it took me a while to figure out that you could repeat letters

I'd never have thought of proxy on my first attempt. Especially as it has two of the least used letters in the alphabet in it.

I didn't get yesterday's at all. I wasn't taking any notice of the colours

. To be fair to me the examples don't even mention what the colours mean - not clearly.

Now i've found the rules online I know what im doing.

It helps in that situation to abandon the right letters. So day you had fight as the 3rd guess, and knew that ight were correct, then guess something like misty next so so you're effectively trying might, sight and tight in one go

I knew the middle and last letter and then gambled on it starting QU which cost me a line

Impressive Granny. As usual I was 4.

What was your first word ?

Mine was a pretty useless "paint". I am painting my bannisters and it is very tedious.

My first word was BORED giving me the D in the right position and the R in the wrong place AND letting me know that there was no O or E and no B......

I kept thinking of words that started with R but without a O or E that didn't give me many choices. Same with the ending - I knew it couldn't be ED

Then twigged the ending string and presto .... second entry was correct.

I read that MI6 spooks play and post their scores on twitter. Someone complained and one of them answered SORRY - sense of humour after all.

I got the lewdle, by guessing it (never heard of it), but failed the sweardle. I’m too much of a good girl obviously

Thanks Granny. I got it in 7 too. I wonder if it was the same word for us both.

Just tried today's lewdle. I have four letters correct and in right place on second go but I can't get the penultimate letter. I can't see anything that fits.

Yet again I got Wordle today in four. Could have been three. It was a first letter gamble.

A positive about absurdle is that it narrows down possibilities making you work harder to create a word .....

A negative is that after all the logic and reasoning employed - it says..... You GUESSED after 7 tries.....

Only the first one is a guess and even then i've learned to get rid of awkward letters to start with ...

GUESSED ? my backside.

GUESSED is seven letters therefore not acceptable

I tried Lewdle again today. I started with "crude" which it told me wasn't acceptable. So I put pants. The next 15 words I tried weren't accepted because they weren't considered lewd enough.
