GAME 🎨 A Little Wordy

This is a limited-run online game based off of a board game that is pretty fun.

Similar to Wordle, this will have one puzzle per day and you can share results in a similar fashion. Unlike Wordle this is only supposed to run for 30 days.

Feel free to share your results below (but not the actual word, please). In the Wordle thread, they tend to Quote the previous result to make one long chain of answers for a given day.

Have fun!

Here’s the announcement from the site:

I’m thinking of a word. Try to guess what it is.

Posted April 17, 2023

Hi. Hello. Greetings. It’s me. The Oatmeal guy.

I coded a word-guessing game. Here’s how it works:

  • Every day for the next month, I’m going to upload a word. Your job is to guess what it is.
  • You can ask for clues, but they cost points. Try to use as few of them as possible.
  • After thirty days, the game will end.
  • The game starts right now. Go play.

-The Oatmeal

P.S. I recommend starting with the “visual clue.” It’s usually a funny drawing.

:sweat_smile: Usually I’m good at these things but one I should have guessed more carefully and two I was not guessing in the right direction. Fun game though love the concept.
