Whatever! Go on karma, sic him. Bite him in the bum, real good.

I was going to retort with some name calling, but failed to come up with anything appropriate that couldn’t be reflected back :grin: .


But that reminded me of a kid in my first year of high school (13 years old), who used to taunt me with racist (??) comments. He’d call me Dutch curry on rice, and a Tulip muncher among other things. It had no impact on me as it didn’t bother me. But he relished in using these kind of names with a bit of spite and malice in his voice. Which I was insensitive to (I even thought was amusing), and I didn’t spot this nastiness until years later

His name was Gabriel, and he was a slightly on the chubby side. One day, without too much though what I was doing, I said “Hey, Flabby Gabby”. Unbeknownst to me, he was sensitive about his weight and size. And he immediately said he’d stop calling me names if I would not use term again.


Anyway, karma this one, summer dweller :smiley: :

This made me laugh and it got me thinking about this guy.

Your verbal attack might have looked something like this.

Karma also kinda already got me by throwing me under the same bus as you guys were before. I knew she was homing in on me.

Did a little better today, and I’m happy that so far karma hasn’t punished me too much for my snarky comment :innocent:

After guess four, was completely bamboozled for a few minutes, thought there’s nothing it can be.

I had a few choices after guess 2. And I chose the wrong way…

If you mean bamboozled, I have heard that one before. I must say I like it :smile:

I think karma still likes me, might even love me for giving me this good of a score. Using “crane” has paid off big time. I do still wonder how it feels though… :crazy_face:

She’s toying with you. And then, when you expect to feel the love, BAM!, she king hits you, and drags your body into the X/6 zone.


What!! I did the same and got a different payout. I guess karma apologised to me in Wordle 418 :grin:


Don’t you have some windmills to spin?

611

Oh ES, you’re making me laugh, but well done with 417. Clearly a lucky guess though, haha. Btw, another great word is discombobulate. Like I was discombobulated by the Dutchman’s willingness to flaunt his lucky score.

Ooh, my favourite thing, I was a windmill chaser when I was there.

Waiting for a clog reference next


Ugh, thought of the answer for guess three, but went with a different option.

Oh and by the way, if you like words and language and *delightful* rhymes then check out this game/story. It's an entry in the current GD gamejam. It only takes a few minutes to play and I promise you will laugh.
612

I had a good chuckle at that game. It’s quite nicely put together, with some clever rhymes.I particularly like the lines “The bullet rebounded through where his brain used to reside”.

I replayed it a few times to get the other outcomes. All equally funny.

613

Hahaha, that is indeed what is going to happen. I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to strike one of your competitive nerves.

I do, once the farmers stop protesting, but don’t you as well, fellow tulip muncher? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

This could be said about any score that had multiple options left :innocent:

That is a word I didn’t know. Thank you!

I will take a look. Thanks for the suggestion :smile:

Again took a break, and when coming back made a small mistake. Almost got that king hit from karma…

Hmmm, ES I don’t think your 419 guess five was a real word? I assume your guess four was something to eat.

Yes but 6/6 is crushing enough, don’t want any of us to get any more* of the X/6
*MrMen included, but he hasn’t had the X/6 humiliation.

Hmmm, very dicey. Apart from being the city, apparently it can also be used for babble. See, this is what bugs me about the dictionary that Wordle uses, It has too many weak words which means ES, you’re wasting a guess on a word that shouldn’t have been allowed.

I stand corrected.
:scream:

Hahahaha, I thought it.


Hmmm, after guess two, thought there’s only one option left. Was already imagining posting my three here, when boom. A swear word was uttered out loud haha.

Only if you've already done 421

You know what? I can say that today’s wordle is very rare to have an A as the middle letter and I should know. Today’s my 199th wordle so that means I’ve used trade about 197 times and it’s so rare to get a green A. Which you two will be noticing with your recent crane spree.

You are giving me too much credit. I actually started guessing blindly because again for some reason, I didn’t come up with the final answer, even though it’s also a Dutch word. But yeah! Stupid Wordle dictionary! :nerd_face:

You are probably gonna run a very long 3 streak soon again. Just like you usually do.

Failed 421, and didn’t do 422.

Yeah, unless you know the word (khaki) it would be impossible to get it by using prior knowledge of word structure.

Let’s hope so, came close today.

Hahahahaha, it sounds like an insult but I know it wasn’t haha. Thank you. Yeah, I’m not really affected one way or the other by the results, I made a game I’m proud of so that’ll do. And even though I’m one for appreciating good graphics in a game, it doesn’t seem quite right that ‘sound’ and ‘graphics’ together are worth twice as much as ‘fun and game design’. And of course, your game deserved a lot lot lot better.
