Have you tried Waffle? It’s my new favourite!

Cool beans! That one is really fun.

Thanks!

I got the Deluxe Waffle, too.

Over my head. How does it work?

If you click the ? at the upper right hand corner, it displays the rules.

They switch to a new puzzle at 7pm EST rather than midnight so there is a new one up! I got the deluxe one as well.

Oooo I like that!!!

I do Wordle every evening (unless I forget, and then I'm cranky because that's usually how I mess up my streak) And I do Dwordle and Quordle at breakfast, I'll add this to my morning!

BTW I do Wordle at night because I do it on my phone, along with some Japanese word games I do. But in the mornings I am looking at my iPad, which is better for the bigger two and four word ones.

What are these so fun?

I was working my way through the archive and I think I found a software bug. The letters are all there and you can form the words correctly but they weren't flagged correctly as to their position . Something was shown as yellow but I don't think it was supposed to be.

I'm curious if anyone else runs into the same problem.
So I don't give away which one it was specifically, I'll say it was in between 35 and 40 in the archive.

Or maybe I'm just cracking up.

I just did 35-40 and all was well. Though it’s possible I didn’t notice it if I was focused on another part of the puzzle?

So cool!!

Very cool. I got a perfect score on my first followed by a hair-of-my-chinny-chin-chin result on the Deluxe.

Fun. COLOSSAL timesuck.

Exactly! Supposed to be thinking about dinner. Instead I’m here looking for the link…

Oh, I wouldn't worry THAT much - speaking as someone who hasn't yet gotten the hang of it (much less all the rhyming soundalike variants*).

I've read numerous reports about how important it is to exercise ones brains with such challenges. That develops maximum "cognitive reserve" to ward off dementia and to recover function after strokes. You guys, most of you, also have piano playing as a second resource so you should all be among the slow aging seniors highlighted online. All the more so, for those who've picked up a second instrument (and CHAS with his banjo playing should really shine!)

*Admittedly, I haven't devoted an afternoon - or whatever it would take - to really trying to master it and other such. This lack in my life, plus everybody else's sterling scores on it and the other puzzles, DOES worry me a bit, though. Hopefully, watching movies in my once fluent alternate languages will serve something of the same purpose.

Besides which I hereby resolve to finally (re)learn how to play bridge! I have an aunt (she lived to 98) who despite a bad start, ended sharp and downright brilliant to her last days.

To be specific, the only unmarried one of my mother and siblings, she had a breakdown in her mid-twenties, treated with ECT (in those days they REALLY zapped them, too). She also continued (reluctantly) with anti-psychotic medicine from which she was unable to wean.

Nonetheless, she remained the champion bridge player in her whole Southern county (perhaps beyond too) and played regularly, including hostessing many of the tournaments. I hear she was impatient with her too slow partners, besides - no one could match her.

Comparing her to her younger sister (my mother, who survives her now at 100) is striking. Poor Mom is well into dementia (Alzheimer's?), which began (family observation) at least two decades ago. I blame her not playing bridge or taking on similar challenges. (My brother's Japanese father-in-law is still sharp after 100 which he attributes to his devotion to GO.)

So you guys are in good shape. I'd not call it a time sink!
