    Hmm yes, I just tried it, and had several possibilities left
    for the last try. Fortunately the one that seemed most common
    was the right one.

    All I'm seeing in my newsreader is blank squares above. At least that
    leaves me unspoilt. However, we're gonna need to do this manually. I
    think I understand the game - it's a bit like mastermind but with
    letters rather than letters.

    Guess 1: cleat

    Wordle presents you with a five letter word, chosen afresh each
    day from a fixed list of 2,309 words.

    You get six tries, which are marked grey (miss), gold (right
    letter in wrong place), green (right letter in right place).

    At least that
    leaves me unspoilt. However, we're gonna need to do this manually. I
    think I understand the game - it's a bit like mastermind but with
    letters rather than letters.

    Guess 1: cleat

    You can play for yourself at
    <https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html>

    But if I remember the word correctly, "cleat" would have scored
    you ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ (GREY GOLD GOLD GREY GREY).
