Anyone else get hooked on Wordle yet? [View all]

It's the new rage. You are only allowed to play once a day . - no sign up, no email, no ads . Link to free game (thanks markie)
https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/

You have to guess the word of the day within six tries. You start with a wild guess and then deduce each time because correct letters turn yellow and correct letters in the proper position turn green. At first I thought it was easy but it isn't.

More explanation and tips...
