Stupid 131 1/1/2

stupidwordgame.com having fun in the wake of Wordle’s recent attack of the Bowdlers.

Continuing my little excursions and using the IndieWebRing as my guide, I chanced up Chris DeLuca’s CSS to Style a Novel www.chrisdeluca.me/article/b… I particularly liked the explanations for each of his chosen rules.

Very puzzled. My helper suggested only one possibility, and that wasn’t it. Solved it without help, but … whaddayaknow? The actual target word is not in the list. Salutary.

This one required a bit of thought.

We’ve got this, me and my helper.

“White people are Schrodinger’s Race, simultaneously a beautiful, master race of supreme vitality and a weak, declining, impotent force, forever sinking beneath a dusky wave.”

Long enough not to need dumb luck.

Nothing to brag about.

“having the resources to fact-check comes from a position of privilege” Huh? I suppose if you want someone else to check your facts that might be true, but still, why is anyone listening to this person?

To my knowledge this is the first time I’ve been mentioned over at Mastodon, so it seems only right and proper to see whether the wonders of IndieWeb allow me to reply there. Good to see old online friends but not sure I can handle another channel.

My word was a real word, but it wasn’t THE real word. Which is … frustrating.

Back on form!

Huh? app.net is now a sign-in for Mastodon. Not going to happen, for me at least.

I feel a longer word deserves more turns and backspaces. Again, there’s no point telling me when I have used both backspaces on my second turn, to clear and try again, if you are going to fill in the answer for me. I did get it, but won’t spoil it.

@DianaEGarvin Where are you seeing teeth? The notches in the centre of the blade on the right are for holding the blade securely in the handle. They do not touch the face. The bit that shaves you is the shiny sharp edge.

@SarahTaber_bww Good to know. I guess you will announce the details here when the time comes?

Today’s IndieWebRing excursion took me to jamesvandyne.com and prompts the question, what really attracts people make of Disneyland? Maybe I’m too old, but even in my thirties, when I visited Florida’s for work, I was underwhelmed by it all, especially EPCOT. It just seems so ersatz.

I don’t get it. I was about to insert my guess, which involved a different letter in first position, but the field was already filled with a wrong answer.

Is it limited to three guesses? And why was the field filled in?
