I'd agree in theory and yet it has in some instances led to little interactions, and today for instance, and in case of today it's been amusing because

If social media means twitter, facebook, trigger, instagawk, mendips, viperballz etc then those platforms are sfc anyway, and anyone using them will gratefully gobble up what they are given.

If social media actually means places like CaB, then it would be so incongruous for anyone who hates wordle to bother opening up a thread explicitly about wordle that I can't imagine it happening.

They didn't even get it in one?  Haha, the one thing they were destined to achieve and they somehow didn't.

Hopefully you have cut them out of your life.

The narcissists and hucksters that infest those cretin landfills would only be scrolling through endless pictures of other wankers dinners anyway.
They'd probably be thankful of a few green squares to break up the monotony.

Exactly.  Play hopskotch every now and then, you nature-hating screen-miners.

Since it's a daily thing, doing the puzzle and coming in here feels sort of like running into your neighbour every morning, "hello, you alright this morning? Weather etc."

I don't think it's anything more than that.

That's it for me. It's simple enough to be a quick distraction most people can do on their way to work, and then talk about for a minute or less. A shared experience that's a bit different each day. It's nice. Simpler times.

Should have got that in three, I've had an absolute shocker. I guessed that today's would have few vowels and for some reason, I made that second guess even though I knew it wouldn't be right. It's too early in the morning for this shit...

I have two questions, both of which may have already been answered.

1. Mrs LO has white tiles instead of black when she sends it over. Why is that? She's the only person I've seen with white.
2. A friend in China did it and sent me a screenshot of his game. Dickhead. Anyway, I thought that had ruined my day but it hadn't because his was a different word! So is this something that changes from country to country?

Dark mode on a phone is my guess.
