@freemo A tunnel? With the archway you mean that broken piece of darkblue circle on the right?

@freemo Congratulations! Alas, I cannot compare anymore lest it be cheating.

I checked its html source out of curiosity and found out everything's in open view and predetermined. I tried out today's supposed word earlier and confirmed it's all in a fixed order.

Amazing someone paid a 7-figure sum for this... as literally anyone could've copied it by now and host it for themselves.

@lydiaconwell Mm, personally if I see 'quarter' in English, I think of the coinage.

Dutch is a tad different. 1/4th would be 'kwart' but the coin would've been 'kwartje'. Not anymore now that we have the euro with its 20 cent...

@freemo Of course you'd say this. :P

@peterbabic Clones already existed for decades. Actually, Wordle itself was a clone. There's LINGO for example, and they've been in 6 and 7 letter variants as well.

@aral

Guh... email alert that a certain product is ->THIS ABSOLUTELY CHEAP PRICE<-. Ooh! Goes to site, registers, then... bah, price is corrected.

So that was the start of my morning. :(

@lydiaconwell Maybe because it's one fourth of a dollar? Though I've never seen it referred to it as that.

@freemo Oh man, I'm too full with stamppot andijvie to enjoy the sight of this food, because otherwise this looks delicious. ;)

@freemo And you had to choose the last of the 3 words to get it? :P

@freemo Heh, while the start with my 2 words I mentioned yesterday gave me the first letter pretty quick. ;)

The 3rd word was my determining if it was still CVCVC... I shouldn't have bothered. ;)

For tomorrow, code orange is announced at the coasts due to storm Corrie. The rest of the country will be code yellow.

My province is half code green. My prediction of my city tomorrow: lolwhut? What storm are you even talking about?

@izaya Huh, never thought about that, but that does sound like a neat idea. I know an author or two that I wouldn't mind donating/feedbacking something to if there was an easy way to do that and mentioned right there in the book. Making them more accessible, basically.

@freemo No, I didn't use adieu at all. ;) I did the different approach since adieu didn't really work out for me in previous words.

@freemo I went with 'marks' as that's all common enough consonants and vowel. Then 'towel' based on what I got from the first word, all letters are different. The W and R gave me a huge clue which led me to solve this.

@freemo Ok, say, today's word. Adieu. If I only know the 'u' and it's in the wrong spot, it honestly isn't telling me that much yet.
What's your 2nd word for this to tackle?

@freemo I dunnooooooo.. there's still a fair amount. ;)

@freemo Just to hook up to 'two letters with one sound'... rk is one sound? 'r' 'k'... huh? The 'ck' I can see it, that's just pronounced as 'k' basically.. but r and k?

@freemo Verbs and plurals are words too, though.

Marks, harks, barks, larks, rocks, socks, mocks, ticks tocks.

@freemo Except in the English language, I find it's more likely that words have 1 to 2 vowels in those 5-letter words. Not 2 to 3.
