OT - Who's Playing Wordle?

If you haven't been playing Wordle, get ready to get addicted. It's the new fad created by a random guy in Brooklyn for his significant other. He didn't create it to make money (there are no ads whatsoever on the site and there are no paid features), and it has gone absolutely viral. Jimmy Fallon even played it with his audience.

The premise is simple. You get 6 tries to guess a 5 letter word. For every correct letter in the correct spot, you get a green square. For every correct letter in the wrong spot, a yellow square. Basically Mastermind, but with words.

So....who's playing and what's your strategy?

I enjoy wordle. haven't lost yet this month. Some of the words above, like "adieu," and "nymph," are good first words. I've often used "tiers" or "tiera" or "piano." I personally like that you pretty much are guaranteed to "win" if you have a good vocab and choose words you put down carefull.
