I've taken to playing Quordle, and though it's a bit nerve-racking at the start, it's fun once you get used to it.

You’re probably all bored with this but we (the tech workers of The NY Times) are still on strike because management refuses to come to the table. Thanks for your support and continuing to boycott Cooking and Games. #BreakYourStreak

Quordle in 6 was always a good day.

sctheacat.bsky.social•108 days ago

There is extreme and chill Quordle. That dictionary has a ton of other word games.

brainbolt.bsky.social•108 days ago

I did Quordle every day for a couple of years and loved it, then suddenly quit. Ditto with Octordle, EIGHT puzzles at a time.

brycefb.bsky.social•107 days ago

It's life changing! I played a LOT of the games and I love it way more than wordle! So many puzzles. I made all of the time for this today!

cvfpartnerships.bsky.social•108 days ago

Any chance you folks can get Teamsters, etc to honor the picket line. That helped a lot when I was on strike.

heathermn.bsky.social•108 days ago

There’s an Octordle as well!

mrsaware plays that and just seeing the screen causes me untold stress

Wait til you find out about https://64ordle.au/?mode=daily

mjfgates.bsky.social•108 days ago

Or you can just watch this for about ten minutes. (Ye gods, that was a thing.)

4' 33" in hell :D

I hadn’t attempted it in months, but somehow I did it 😅

mdaware.org•108 days ago

for anyone interested, ive been enjoying worLdLe, and then travLe (which has an unlimited practice mode)

https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/

smrstik.bsky.social•108 days ago

one of my favorites!

lilliemanvel.bsky.social•108 days ago

This was my second morning game before the nyt strike. Now it’s my first. Have you tried the when taken option they have?

mdaware.org•108 days ago

I tried the where taken photo thing, not my bag; travLe’s been a lot of fun although I’m glad I did a lot of worLdLe first

lilliemanvel.bsky.social•107 days ago

Update: travLe is fun! TYSM!

mdaware.org•107 days ago

lilliemanvel.bsky.social•108 days ago

The way I crash and burn on when taken😅 but sometimes I nail it and then I’m so smug. I’ll try the travle option tomorrow morning!
If you’re a wordle person, I shared this other wordle-ish game in a different thread: https://sqrdl.ooo

rachelernst.bsky.social•108 days ago

I love this. I did it all last year with my students during their snack time, one a day. By the end of the year, they felt so much more confident about geography.

tfwilson.bsky.social•108 days ago

I love Quordle. Don’t miss the Sequence, Chill & Extreme variants.
Octordle makes me seasick.

lalalowe.bsky.social•108 days ago

There’s also an octordle and a sedecordle if you really want to torture yourself.

hulibow.bsky.social•108 days ago

I love octordle. Sedecordle? Sign me up!

lalalowe.bsky.social•108 days ago

I think sedecordle is the easiest because pretty soon, you’ve used so many of the letters you can see the answers.

bcdreyer.social•108 days ago

Mostly I play a lot of Scrabble on the Scrabble app.

serenagolden.bsky.social•108 days ago

I miss the 🐝 the most but the Spelling Queen app is a passable dupe for now!

bcdreyer.social•108 days ago

That I essentially hate-play the 🐝 waiting to see what perfectly good word it rejects is probably not good for my soul.

bcdreyer.social•108 days ago

I've neither forgotten nor forgiven that "dogpiling" would have been a pangram.

serenagolden.bsky.social•108 days ago

Exact same

saffronsfloof.bsky.social•108 days ago

The app is nice. Especially when all your friends and family refuse to play with you.

mollywolly.bsky.social•108 days ago

Do you pay for it or live through the nightmarish commercials in between plays? (I can guess.)

bcdreyer.social•108 days ago

(I don't accept challenges from people I don't know, so if you're going to challenge me you should tip me off.)

(I'm a passably decent player, that's all.)

(No, I'm not hustling you.)

saffronsfloof.bsky.social•92 days ago

Alright, I’ve downloaded the Scrabble GO app (I was using the Scrabble EA app) and curious if you are still accepting challenges.

bcdreyer.social•92 days ago

Sure. Tell me who I’m looking for, so I accept!

saffronsfloof.bsky.social•92 days ago

chattympc. Let me see if I can find you.

saffronsfloof.bsky.social•108 days ago

Define “know”…
