... except that wouldnt really work, would it - if the target word changes then feedback in terms of green and yellow squares is no longer reliable/ feasible .. or maybe there'd still be a way of doing it? -- like, the target word could be steadily more constrained within a range to ensure the feedback for each row remains valid - but still dynamic, so that it almost always remains just out of reach?

A more deviously gamified version of wordle, that dynamically adjusts the target word to ensure whatever words the user selects over the 6 rows are avoided - and then just occasionally relents. So that mostly the user "loses", with just occasional wins to keep them coming back.

The myriad shimmering specks of light on the surface of the pool as you turn your head when swimming, each speck singing of [itself, the instance, the infinite, the inexpressible, the cosmos]

A variation on the Daniel Craig "Ladies and gentlemen .. The weekend" meme:

"Ladies and gentlemen .. A day without any meetings."

Anxiety over the weekend about work, or bills; anxiety about the bathroom mould and grouting, the car that needs a service, -- this is the blessed state though is it not (ie being alive, conscious)
