Perhaps it’s because politics have “leaned in” to the topics they cover, like the FCC, NASA, the FDA, and EVs.

“Lennox International… developed the first prototype that achieved the Technology Challenge’s standards about a year ahead of schedule. The prototype delivers 100% heating at 5°F at double the efficiency, and 70% to 80% heating at -5°F and

Interesting! It seems positioned to eventually replace the existing solution.

How does it work if there’s no cursor, in touch-only mode?

Is that elbow macaroni in the window corner a new convention in iPadOS, echoing I suppose the old diagonal hash marks of yesteryear? I'd have to see it in person, but it looks like "stage manager" occupies a lot of screen rea

That change should be deployed before tomorrow morning. I'll also make it so you can hit Escape to pause the game.

I will investigate. Sorry about that, and thanks for the input.

You can scroll down on the main play page to play the previous challenges. You might like Thursday and Friday more.

Yeah I am trying to figure this out. I have not been able to reproduce it. It should not be possible; I think the UI state is getting out of sync with the true puzzle state. It looks like you tried VIALS - do you know if you interacting pre

It ought to do a better job of explaining that there are specific words it's looking for. Originally I did explore the game you thought that this game was — create any 3 words using all the loose tiles — but the problem is, there are a

Yeah that's a bug - should be impossible. Thank you for posting, kinda important that that doesn't happen. I will check it out.

The heavier bits: about 800k of that is the .webp animations showing how to play. The actual game has a bunch of image resources — including font sprites for the timer and the tiles — that are probably a few hundred k as well. The regular s

Thanks! Not sure what to do with it, to be honest. I had trouble finding the game satisfying without some goal beyond just solving it. However, speed is not required unless you care — you can win without collecting the stars. Perhaps it wou

OK I think I've fixed this. Please take another look if you can.

by beepy 5y ago
I think I've fixed this (hopefully without breaking something else). Give it another look if you can and let me know.

I like that, thanks!

Thanks! Really, that star shouldn't appear so quickly. It currently appears as soon as the new round comes into existence. You get about 40 seconds to get the star from the end of the last round, so I could certainly cheat and have the

There are a few reasons I didn't pursue that — one of them that comes to mind because of having to deal with repeats - for example, let's say in round 1 you have TRIAL and in round 2 you have TRAIL. You see TR---, guess TRAIL in r

Thanks! I was mostly worried that Wordle's initial press tended to give the impression that Wardle had invented the game (and I grumbled about that here and elsewhere) — so I feared I would be accused of copying his work.

Not a bug! There are three specific words it’s looking for. I will find a way to make that more explicit.
23.
by beepy 5y ago
I hear you. I personally found the game less interesting before I added the "threat" of losing stars — it felt to me more like trial-and-error work. However, I think there is value in embracing its more meditative side and offerin

I think I follow, thank you. Perhaps a reduced animation option (or respecting prefers-reduced-motion setting) would help.
25.
by beepy 5y ago
Yes, that should be explicitly stated. Thank you!

by beepy 5y ago
Thank you!

by beepy 5y ago
Thank you, that's super helpful.

Thanks - I did struggle with getting the game to size properly under different conditions. I sorely lack deep knowledge of the matrix of Android browsers/OS version quirks.

by beepy 5y ago
Urk - what browser/version please?
