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).

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).
