Aw, tried to YOLO full speed and crashed a little past halfway. Didn’t expect external winds to start coming in.

Not really a timewaster – just something a school buddy of mine made:

Kern it:

But the dungeon isn’t ready yet! He needs to get on that…

all the old farts are doing wordle, but do you think that’s too easy?

of course you do! that’s for peasants!

You want absurdle!

The game where it takes your guesses and keeps changing the target word(s) so that the greatest number of possibilities exist. But worry not, unlike the wordle-for-the-hoi-polloi, you’ve got infinite chances on this game!

So go for it!

Speaking of which…I saw your posts on twitter(?) extolling the inordinate fun you’re having playing this game, so I searched for it in the Apple App Store (or for the French, Apple App le Store).

I didn’t see any thing that made me say, “Ah. This is the ‘official’ app right here.” So, I didn’t download anything.

Today, in the wsj, I read this, and now I know why.

I am surprised y’all aren’t all over Wordle already - OddSox and me have been in hot competition for a week or two.

I solved it on my first try!

Not with the first word, but the first time I ever played, though.
