It was all reflective garments around here...

2021 was a good year for tweets. Gonna post a thread of some of my favorite. I know it’s gonna seem like some of these are a joke but I promise you they were tweeted in earnest. Going chronologically:

WTF is Wordle and why do all my Twitter followers keep posting about it?

i played it for the first time this morning

what’s the verdict I am also considering playing it

it was cool

ugh fine

ok it’s cool

it takes about two minutes to play and they only have one game a day, I can't see why it's become so big

bc u can flex on ppl wit emojis

oh shit

i think i just got very lucky tbh. got a letter in the 2nd spot that could only be preceded by relatively few other letters. it's sort of the same strategy as wheel of fortune (except you don't get R S T L N E given to you)

I read an article where someone said they always use ORATE for their first guess because it has three vowels and two common consonants.

i used 'shard' to find the common consonants, suppose 'share' will be a better starting point

i find wordle a bit too easy (ive still never lost after a couple months of playing daily) so instead of optimizing my opening word i just pick the first 5-letter word that pops into my head

the challenge of wordle isn’t so much about whether you will lose but how long you will stay stumped. sometimes i just can’t think of a word with those letters for a long time. that’s the good stuff

we've been talking about it over here for quite some time
Tomtit in the tilth -- the NY TIMES SPELLING BEE thread

i love it. the best thing is it's only one a day so I'm not playing it for ages.

Not quite. Rowling's real importance lies in the fact that she was the first writer to present a world in which class and wealth mattered, some characters were poor, some were rich, and being poor was a hardship, not just a cheery sentimental thing in the scenery.

Wordle is a CIA op

i'm on day 8 of Wordle and haven't lost

i fully expect that i won't be playing this in 30 days but a lot of people will keep going and i can see why. i'm not really a "daily puzzle" kind of guy, although i did use to really enjoy doing crosswords with my ex when I first met them. i can see why people addicted, and wordle is nice because it only takes a couple minutes

Rowling as pioneering Dickensian author suggests the author of that tweet may be unfamiliar with the adjective

heh! what a vacuous pumper

tweeter outed himself as a Floridian, so you must forgive him, it's in his DNA

remind me never to interact with k-pop fans or even the concept of k-pop on twitter. seems like it’s a world of hurt
