Oops, I re-used the E in my third guess. That’s what I get for playing Wordle right after I wake up.

This puzzle went down fast. I just ran my game of prioritizing RTLECANIPDS and made my own luck.

The real strength of this starting word is its excellent second words in common situations. It’s easy to find a play using R, T, and I for a second round knockout.

My starting word betrayed me today. Those yellows made it really difficult to find legal words to play, and it took forever, even if my guesses were nearly perfect according to Scoredle.

Hi! !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io mod here. Thank you for the shout out! I’ll try to participate here from now on.

Sub.rehab can show you subreddits that have verified official communities on Lemmy, Mbin, and others. You can import your followed subreddits from Reddit and find their Fediverse counterparts quickly. It’s the best place I’ve found for Reddit users to find communities to follow here, even if a lot of them aren’t very active and their Reddit versions are still active too.

I think Lemmy and Mbin’s interfaces scare some people off. A lot of users don’t know that Lemmy has plenty of other third-party interfaces like Photon, Alexandrite, Voyager, and of course, Old.

Mbin lacks these for now, but makes up for it with the rarely-used custom CSS for magazines, just like Old Reddit, and custom JS too! I use mine to create a two-column layout with big thumbnails! Unfortunately, the CSS doesn’t federate and is only visible when viewing it on Fedia itself. I’d love to have even a Lemmy-like banner image on other instances.

For the daily word puzzle Wordle, !wordle@lemmy.world and /r/Wordle both benefit from having a bot post a discussion thread for each day’s puzzle as it’s released. I go there every day and post how I did on the day’s puzzle. I still post and moderate on the Reddit one every once in a while, but I tell them about the Lemmy one while I’m there. The recently-created !dailygames@lemmy.zip does this for several daily puzzle games, but I’m not sure if it’s a stronger community or just more cluttered.

Of course, we could remind Reddit users that the Fediverse doesn’t have ads! That was a huge selling point for me.

And when a Reddit community decides to go all-in and move here, they could consider a full screen redirect link like Old Reddit /r/Mei. I thought about using that redirect myself on my old subreddit.

/r/Columbus too. We tried with !Columbus@midwest.social and a few others, but they all died out after a few months.

To be real, the regulars at !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io are completely different from the regulars I had at /r/FloatingIsFun. I couldn’t get most of them to follow me to the Fediverse, and the community I built on the Fediverse mostly benefited from the added exposure of a Lemmy bug that pinned all Kbin posts to the top of /new for two hours.

Could have been a lot worse.

To take the survey, go to this campaign page and scroll down to the “take part” button to get the survey in your language. I basically just told them that I install Firefox ESR from Chocolatey. They were really interested in locale strings like “en-US”.

Too easy. Everyone with a decent starting word got this one in 2 or 3, right?

It’s an unwritten rule of Wordle. The solution has never been a plural ending in S, but it could happen someday. NYT has an editor decide the puzzle solution each day, and they have chosen a few solutions that we thought they’d never use.

I played smarter this time, covering my best 9 letters RTLECANIP with two guesses, leaving only 9 possible solutions. It’s all academic.

I called it! For once, guessing at the NYT’s solution paid off! I checked the Reddit thread where nearly 200 people have posted their emoji grids, and somehow no one (Edit: only one other player) tried this. It was an easy lay-up this time. ✌️

This one broke my brain and almost broke my 100 streak. It took way too long for me to find playable words.
