How are you guys getting these nice little graphics?
Got mine in 6 today. Had three letters in position on the third guess and still almost blew it.

Six
Just terrible... I left the house and came back after my third guess.
On my return, I was completely focused on my two green letters and completely disregarded (forgot about) my yellow letter until guess five when I looked up and saw it.

Edit: I did this on my Windows computer and I just see inconsistently sized black boxes, but on my iPhone it shows the colors. So color me confused
Edit2: After adding the above edit I now get black boxes and question marks on Windows and iPhone. I'm going backwards!

Waiting until the answer is spoiled makes this game super easy!

Three with another educated/lucky guess today. Today I used the strategy of ignoring the letters I got on the first line and using a totally different word on the second line, so by the time I got to three I had three letters in the wrong places and had eliminated six, so quite a bit to work with.

So, I started this thread a week ago, not realizing what a phenomenon Wordle is (truly, I'm not very dialed in to pop culture).
As someone who plays LOTS of word games, it isn't the most difficult or even the most interesting. Why is it so popular?
1) It's simple. Anyone can guess five letter words, anyone might get it right. You can put as much or as little strategy into it as you like.
2) It's limited. One puzzle a day, no archives. The game inherently keeps you wanting more instead of burning out.
3) The ease of sharing/bragging - the "share" is genius. You can show your friends how sharp/lucky you are without spoiling the answer.
I wouldn't have guessed it would have the impact it already has. I wouldn't have guessed ANY word game could still make a dent in our current society. And I would have been wrong.
I got it in 4, using a similar strategy. When I guessed my 3rd guess, I already knew 3 letters but out of order. My third guess got a 4th letter, and 3 of the 4 letters correct in order. I just picked the wrong of two choices of words with those particular 4 letters. So my 4th guess wasn't a guess.
4 tries. poop. Was sure I had it on three.
