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 @oatmeal Huh yeah. Got the visual, got the amount of letters, then guessed the word right. But... yeah, don't know what the visual got to do with it. Is it an English language word joke that's going over my head?

@trinsec @oatmeal maybe but I can't figure it out even post factum. I tried breaking the answer into words and looking for something that would make sense (oatmeal likes such tricks bases on previous puzzles) but drawing a blank so far.

@herid @oatmeal Huh, actually, upon rechecking the answer's image, yeah ok, the similarity was pretty obvious. But you had to know that to begin with, lol.

@trinsec @oatmeal I still don't see it. is it supposed to be its mouth?

@herid @oatmeal Yes, pretty much. Its face.

@trinsec @oatmeal hmm, ok.

@herid @oatmeal
I think this is pretty much the origin. Just that the round thingy could've been better detailed like this, heh. Although I still wouldn't have guessed outright without the rest of it.

@herid
Huh, yeah. Afterwards I think it's some sort of sounding like " 's ok " ... the rest is just a red herring. As a deafy having a 'sounds like' puzzle is tricky as this isn't my native language either heh.

Mm, I've seen funnier heh. ;)

@trinsec @oatmeal sure but it was still pretty god.

@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

@herid
Igh, lol.

@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 Well, that one was easy, heh.

@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.
