Wordle! It's the new craze

Quote from: pigamus on January 07, 2022, 02:35:37 PMDoes it accept words that aren't proper words or did you have to pick something else?

Spoiler alert
Made me pick something else (I, instead of taking the opportunity to at least not bother with the Q, went for "QUICK"). The other day it wouldn't let me play "MUCAL", which I consider a word – of or pertaining to mucus – but I guess a bit of a long shot to suppose it might be the answer in one of these. Imagine thousands of people trying Wordle for the first time and it expects them to get MUCAL. New craze kiboshed.

Quote from: DocDaneeka on January 07, 2022, 03:36:51 PMWhich came first the Web version or the quiz show Lingo hosted by Adil Ray on Itv daytime?

This has presumably been going for 202 days exactly and I don't know when in 2021 that incarnation of Lingo started but apparently it's a revival of a show from 1988 and that is more than 202 days ago. Interestingly I'm replying to this without caring enough to look up whether or not the 1988 version had the same format. Lost interest! Just gonna leave it for someone else to sort out!

Hey, Nicola!

I wasn't paying attention and really stupidly repeated the same letter on the end of the second and third rows, so I'm amazed I pulled it back, frankly.
Spoiler alert
I only had one vowel left after three rows, so that with the three letters I already had made it a no-brainer.

I found this one unsatisfying, though some have been impressed I got no yellows at all.

I have got every one I've done in three.

I've only done two.

Play a game in a private tab, then open the url in a new private tab. You are allowed to play again but it's the same word. Obviously you can edit the share data anyway so this is completely redundant. Fuckitpost.

Apparently you can read the word list anyway, it's not difficult to crack, it's all there somewhere in... I dunno, HTML or whatever you people call it.

Is this one of those things like Mornington Crescent where people are pretending to play a serious game but are actually just making up arbitrary nonsense?

CRANK

Thought I was clever going for OUIJA cos it's got three vowels in it, but not so. Although eliminating three vowels is probably a decent idea for narrowing it down.

Crank was the one I got in the example, and I started with ouija too. I think I did it in six first time though. You win!

Quote from: studpuppet on January 07, 2022, 10:05:08 AMA little feelgood news from a couple of decades ago:

Mastermind box models reunite

That jolly nice chap died 8 years ago in a care home 50 yards from where I lived in Leicester. I bet Richard Osman could make that sound interesting on Pointless.

Oh... the name of the care home? Mastermind Mansions.

Twonty Gostelow

Actually it was Melbourne Home. Still, makes you think.
