Continuing the starting word gimmicks a little longer. Did we ever think Wordle would last this long? Of course we did! The original version had 2,315 puzzles in its code, and that's no secret.

I would have posted this yesterday, but it was such a nice day outside and I was spending my birthday out of town. When OGQ took over Grafolio, they broke all my old Grafolio links and I had to find this again. Aeppol's forest girl really gets around as we've seen before and we'll see again for sure.

It's my birthday and I'm visiting another city, so I deviated from my starting word today. My follow-ups could have been better, but I stayed safe.

• Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max are in top shape on the PSP with extra characters and decent single player content.

• Rock Band Unplugged is a stealth sequel to Frequency and Amplitude, worth a try for juggling a whole band's worth of instruments.

• I also had a lot of fun with Half-Minute Hero, Lumines, Everybody's Golf Portable 2/Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 2, and the racing games DdCno1 mentioned.

• And that's not even getting into the excellent options for emulated games, both retail and homebrew.

• RetroAcheivements PSP games sorted by number of players is a good way to see the most popular games.

Tekken? Nah. It's a four button game, and you only need to map the shoulder buttons if your character has a good move with a weird button combination like Square+Circle. Street Fighter Alpha 3 really needs all 6 buttons, though.

You might want to search for a RetroAchievements collection of PlayStation Portable games.

British Pathé's newsreel archives show us more old-timey balloon fun! This newsreel leaves out that the day's experiments ended when Sgt. Ernest Arthur Dobbs got entangled in power lines, becoming the first ever balloon jumping fatality. There are ways to make balloon jumping safe, as Parabounce tried to do earlier this century, but it still hasn't caught on. If I was harnessed into a balloon like this, I'd never want to take it off.

More grinding with the same starting word, like learning a new character in a fighting game. One weakness is that it doesn't contain an S, so I have to use S in my second guess instead.

This puzzle sure gave us a hard time, but Scoredle lucked out and got it in 3.

It's Mar10 day, and Peach has her own game coming out this month. We used to attribute her floaty jump to that puffy dress catching the wind like a parachute, but we've come to know Peach as a skilled magic user that could probably float without the dress if she wanted to. She's not to be messed with.

I use ad blocking browsers like Bromite on Android and Librewolf on Windows, and I never encounter any ads on NYT Wordle. That page is my only interaction with NYT, so they don't make any money off of me. I hope whoever owns Lingo DMCAs them.

Reddit-style spoiler tags don't work here. They're supported in a couple third-party apps, but most people will see it exactly as you pasted it. Lemmy has its own weird spoiler tag format but Kbin/Mbin don't support it.

No harm, no foul, but just use Scordle's plain paste format and add two spaces after each emoji grid line.

I'm trying some new ideas after yesterday's X/6. I want to figure out an optimal approach with these priorities:

1. Never lose
2. Low average guesses
3. Reduce human error
4. Possibility of 1/6

According to Freshman.dev's Bot Leaderboard, I should start with SLANT, TRINE, CARET, ROAST, or LANCE. But, I'm not a bot and I don't have perfect knowledge of all playable words in the game, so I may need another approach.

Challenge accepted. These vector trees have been ripped off to hell and back for ten years, but I think the original artist is desenart. Vector art theft just runs rampant. They even got rid of the surfer dude.

I thought Soft Garden's boss Jackle was a good fight. He tries to zone you out by throwing tarot cards at you, and it's satisfying to slip through his cards and hit him.

This Quordle Sequence? I can't say I've ever solved a puzzle while it was still unseen. Nicely done!

I played Daily Sequence Quordle 771 just now and got 4️⃣6️⃣7️⃣8️⃣. I used a two word start, but I should have gone for three words instead.

I see you keep using AUDIO PERKY. How come? If you want to RAISE YOUTH and cover AEIOUY in two common words, the SAUTE IRONY is that you can do better. I did a ROYAL SUITE of research on two word starts, and you can avoid LOUSY IRATE results in a RAINY HOUSE by using a DAISY ROUTE or a FAIRY LOUSE.

hitstun , 2 months ago

Ouch! I don't know what guesses you played, but it looks like you fell for a four green letter trap! Your best way out is use one turn trying multiple possible 4th letters with a word like TANKY in this case. If one of those lights up, it's enough to finish the puzzle next turn. If you're in Hard Mode, even that trick isn't an option.

In time for Hinamatsuri the festival, here's official art from Hinamatsuri the manga. Telekinetic future human Hina is lazing about in the air above her adoptive father Nitta.

I tried to find a clean version of this, but I only encountered a low-res watermarked promotional mouse pad image. I could have mashed up the two together into one clean image, but that takes work and this is my weekend. I could try that edit if someone really wants it.

I was listening to the soundtrack for a PS1 hot air balloon sim called NOTAM of Wind and tried NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) as my starting word. Not only does it work; it works kind of well.

hitstun , 2 months ago

Sure, you can get it in less than 4, or as I like to say, under par. By now, you've probably noticed some tendencies about the words NYT chooses as solutions.

Try the most common consonants RTLSN early if you can. Some players like to always use the same starting word like RAISE, SANER, or CRATE. You could even use the same first two words like CLOSE TRAIN, COAST LINER, or DAISY ROUTE. Once you understand how those words help you solve the puzzle in fewer turns, you'll find all kinds of viable starting words you can choose from.

Whatever you do, take your time. You have all day to get the puzzle done, so use all your clues and make logical guesses.

My first two guesses put me in very weird territory. I had 22 possibilities, but I couldn't get one out of my head. In the end I couldn't think of any other legal plays. It ended up being right.
