What is Wordle?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Wordle" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Wordle is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[chrisaldrich]
I thought I'd posted one or two on my site for fun, but it looks like none are public aside from this one: https://boffosocko.com/2022/03/01/55802436/

[Chris Aldrich] Noting the irony that Wordle is not a five letter word. πŸŸ©πŸŸ¨β¬›πŸŸ¨πŸŸ© 🟩🟩🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Apparently I'll have to work on the line breaks between the squares for the OG meta, but Loqi at least got the parsing correct.

[chrisaldrich]++ btw because this article (https://boffosocko.com/2017/04/05/mastodon-social-isnt-as-federated-or-as-decentralized-as-the-indie-web/) is what brought me here

[chrisaldrich] I accidentally made a six letter version of Wordle in Lisp.
#

The "accident" is that the word I wanted to represent was "coffee" which happens to contain six ltters.

why limit to 5 letters anyway
#
[KevinMarks]1
There are longer variants. I played 11 letter wordle, which usually takes 3 turns, but each turn is a lot of thinking time

If you've got ideas, today’s a good day for a blog post about them! (Especially if you do them first on your own site!)

Then your spring cleaning done...
#
[jgmac1106]
I am going to try and simply my archive page for screen cleaning. Just a simple list of lins rather than monthly display of cards
#
petermolnar
that's sad

"Quota reached" on bibliogram... and I haven't even opened before, not this year at least

jan6 there's a Firefox add-on that allows browsing public IG posts without being hassled, but yes it's annoying

jacky
out of respect versus me truncating it

and a benefit for the reader, providing a gist statement reduces need to infer, makes it easier to understand, and provides a relevancy check

digital spring cleaning, much like your house you decide to rake the yard, and a year and half later still have a half built garage you started instead
