Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions

Post by Inanna »

Nice, Frelga.

Am stuck in Wordle. I have GGBYB

It can’t be GGY, so it has to be GG_ _ Y but I can’t think of a word.

Oh! Yes - although NOW you should have the same word.

The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.

"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

I've got a bag of powdered cacao in my kitchen. I don't know if it still qualifies as being cacao since it's been 'processed' but that's what it says on the bag :thumbsup:

If you've not heard that word you must not be into chocolate V. Many chocolate bars will say (for example) 92% cacao. It's the ingredient that is chocolate sans milk, sugar, etc.. I still don't understand how Inanna was getting GG_ _ Y?

I'm pretty sure I had this word recently in one of the Wordle derivatives. Not sure it would've occurred to me otherwise, though I like chocolate enough to have heard of it. But 92% is a bit much for me! :P

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.
