I believe the industry term for today's wordy is "taking an absolute piss".

last one. sad it's over. This was great fun. Thank you, oatmeal!

@herid
It's not terribly uncommon. It's gained a bit more popularity lately in 'edgy conversations' in my experience.

@oatmeal

@trinsec @oatmeal I don't think I've ever heard it used. Perhaps the use is regional?

@herid
I saw it mostly used in meme-like convos of some sort online.

@oatmeal

@trinsec @oatmeal I find "eliminate all useless letters" to be one of the most useful clues. more useful and cheaper than revealing the first letter.

@herid Yeah, I usually do that too. But I thought I was pretty close anyway. Well, I wasn't, but with the revealed letter I did get close lol.

@oatmeal

@herid @oatmeal The visual clue was outright useless and OF COURSE the obvious (but wrong) answer was also able to be spelled out. 😂

@herid @oatmeal The visual clue was nice. It was hard to miss. Or easy, actually. 😋

@trinsec @oatmeal I am really bummed this is over. I wonder if he'd consider making a paid game out of these with monthly puzzles. But I suspect this is not feasible.
