@claudinec Yep. This is pretty much a known bug, that anything that acts like a URL (and the buttons for rows are just crude html anchor tags) can trigger the code in restart() which among other things moves from today’s game to tomorrow’s (or rather, from yesterday’s to today’s, from the viewpoint of now).

You can resolve this by:

1) go to 64ordle’s calendar

2) put your system clock at least three days into the future

3) restart yesterday’s game

4) optionally, reset your system clock and carefully play without reloading the page (and don’t use auto-complete, as it calls restart() !), or otherwise wait until after you finish to rejoin us from the future :)

5) finish yesterday’s game. This won’t increment your daily stats, so:

6) visit 64ordle.au/?mode=debug so as to increase your scores of official daily games.

I think that should help. And I know it’s an awkward edge case, but I sort of agree with the cosmic reminder that you only have 24 hours to play today’s game.

There’s one other nice way around the problem, but this depends on the restart () code *not having* executed (since it clears the daily guesses in preparation for a new day’s game), and I describe that as ‘visiting Pago Pago’. If you need more time to finish a game started just before midnight, change your time zone from UTC + x to somewhere with UTC + y, where x > y !

Edited to fix my obvious maths blunder, and add hashtags.

Yes, I am responsible for this monstrosity—as in, I inflicted this game upon the world. It does make nice patterns though. (For some reason this Mastodon instance isn’t recognising the link back here from my website?)

I made a foolish mistake in the first ten guesses, but at least you can make colourful patterns in spite of that. This silly game has been going for 300 days and is still going strong. #64ordle

@xanthe_cat wow, like 13WPM isn't a lot when typing, but when trying to wordle at the same time? That's incredible. Even #quordle takes a bit of effort to focus on all 4.
My first #64ordle I completely forgot that there were another 40 that I had to scroll for >.>

@Blass_Rose
Hi, glad you’re enjoying it! I gather #64ordle takes players different amounts of time to complete. My partner takes a little under half an hour, I usually get through it in ten minutes (I take quite a bit longer doing the hard version depending on how difficult the day’s word mix is), and I know of people having speed-run it in about five minutes.

As for the red and purple letters, there is the option to play without them, so I’m ambivalent about adding them to the auto-complete.

I also notice #Sedecordle recently notched up 300 games, so attached here is the record of my statistics playing it. (The #64ordle beta has the version 1.04 code modified to compile statistics of all past games.)

I’ve played every game since 20 February, except for the day after my solitary loss. It must have given me a shock for me to forget to play.

Today’s #64ordle was a pleasing word mix. Always nice to use all 26 letters.
