    This is how one can create a perpetual motion machine. You need a cat, a piece of buttered toast, and a generator.

    You tie the toast to the cat's back butter side up, then drop the cat and toast combination off of a table. As the cat must land on its feet but the toast must land butter side down, the combination will instead spin in space. Insert the generator drive shaft into the cat (that's the nasty bit) and you have a free source of energy for as long as the cat doesn't need feeding. Probably best to have several cats working in shifts.

    @KarlLB My cat has defeated your perpetual motion machine. He will land on his feet (thus preserving the cat law), but then immediately roll on his back and present his belly for affection (thus preserving the "buttered toast will get you" law). And then he'll probably slink off under the sofa, thus wiping the remaining butter on the underside of the sofa.

    Inevitably. How many music related (however widely that net is cast) five letter words are there? I wonder if "minim" will come up? I gather they don't generally use those terms (crotchet, quaver, semibreve etc.) over the pond and talk about half notes and quarter notes instead.

    “Minim” came up a month or so ago. And you’re right—minim, crotchet, quaver and semibreve are not used in the US.

    There have been a few times that Byrdle has shown a decidedly British slant. Another was “quire.” And I think the word one day was “vicar,” both more common in the UK and not really musical.

  • I thought I had posted this three days ago, but somehow I missed the last step…

    Prattle was interesting today. Wordle doesn’t include proper nouns, so I assumed the same was true for Prattle, but ended up going with the only thing I could come up with that seemed like it might be a word (I didn’t actually know it, never having read Pericles):

    Has anybody discovered Absurdle? It is significantly harder than Wordle. There is no starting word; it tries to deny you as many letters as it can, while still keeping a list that it could be. As you go on, that list gets smaller and smaller, until finally you whittle it down to one, and that's the answer. I've been averaging 7 guesses.

    Example: when you start, its entire vocabulary is fair game. But say you play COINS. It will now (behind the scenes) remove all words that have any of those letters and return a row of blanks. And so on. Eventually all of the words that are left will have (say) a U. So if you guess a word with U, it has to give you a colored square. It sounds more complex than it is to play.
  • DardaDarda Shipmate
    Got the last 4 letters at line 3 but, like several others have said, this left several choices for the first letter. Struck lucky with my final guess!

    There seems to be a lot of ‘noise’ about it being too difficult, but many of the posted examples show logical errors, and people who get four out of five greens early on may need to think of an alternative strategy when there are too many possibilities. E.g. set aside the four known letters and try for some words that use as many as possible of the possible unknowns.

    Agree, @BroJames, about the people getting the last 5 right, then guessing possible words down the long sequence. @mousethief's post from yesterday shows the right strategy (assuming you're not playing hard mode) - he got the last 4 letters, then chose a word with several of the possible initial letters.

    Yes. I'm averaging 6 atm. It's deceptively simple - I'll have another few cracks at it and see if it's actually possible to get a lower score.

    Got Wordle in 3 today. As for Worldle (geography version), I don't usually play this, though the outrage on Twitter this morning has been a joy.
