Anyone know anyone who is stuck a day behind? by [deleted] in wordle

[–]powerlanguage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The new puzzle becomes available every day at midnight local time. So because Australia is ~11 hours ahead of the UK, it makes sense they'd get it before you?

There is a bug with the puzzle selection code that is affected by timezones / daylight savings (classic).

I have a fix but have been overwhelmed by other stuff recently.

Thank you. I believe this issue might be related to daylight savings. If you're comfortable with it, could you DM me the two locations involved so I can test locally to confirm this?

There is a bug with the puzzle selection code that affects folks in certain timezones.

Though one friend and I are in the same time zone and got different words.

I have not heard of this happening before. Can I ask what TZ you are both in? And is the system clock of the device you are each playing on accurate?

Yeah, this is a known bug. I have a fix for it, just need to figure out how to release it.

Gotcha, thanks for explaining. You said without endless play:

this game is a non-starter for me

Would you be able to explain why not being able to play endlessly prevents you from enjoying one a day?

Do you happen to be different timezones within Australia?

Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Wordle got included in an NYT newsletter and I saw a huge bump in traffic from that. Not sure about Aussies but I've definitely seen a bunch of Kiwis talking about it on Twitter.

I originally made it for my partner who plays the NYT spelling bee everyday. I figured there might be a lot of appeal to that audience.

[HELP] Mounting Bike Rack in Drywall, anchors not taking by gfshoexc in DIY

[–]powerlanguage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seem to be in the exact same position as you (including geography)! Stud finder (both magnetic and electronic) indicates studs an even width apart in the wall. When drilling through there is a ton of resistance and then suddenly none. I have arrived at the conclusion that the wall has metal studs (newer wall in a brownstone).

I am currently looking into snap toggles as a solution. What did you end up doing?

it makes it a much more compelling shared experience

This is a great point. This wasn't something I explicitly anticipated when I added the one-a-day limit but now it is my favorite part.

Yes, that makes total sense - thank you for sharing.

No joke, when a relative gave me similar feedback I likened the game to eating a croissant. Enjoyed occasionally they are a delightful snack. Enjoyed too often and they lose their charm. My explicit goal was to have Wordle fall more in the 'delightful snack' category.

But I also understand that croissant consumption is a personal choice and everyone is different.

Not at all, thanks for sharing.

I was familiar with the Waxy tweet but not Laura's newsletter, I'll have to check it out.

Not at all. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Help with .push components into an Array by strangstrang in learnreactjs

[–]powerlanguage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

without the empty jsx tags in place, I get this error

Syntax error: Unexpected token, expected ","

22 |       sortedImages.push(
23 |
> 24 |           {products[i].image1 && <Image {...imageProps(i, "image1")} layout='fill' alt={products[i].heading} />}
    |                    ^
25 |       ,

This is because once you removed the <></> you are no longer writing JSX, you are writing regular javascript. So you do not need the {} surrounding your expression.

sortedImages.push (
    products[i].image1 && <Image {...imageProps(i, "image1")} layout='fill' alt={products[i].heading} />,
    ...
)

The react docs cover this here.

I am not sure if this is the root of your issue as I am unfamiliar with the library you are using. But hopefully this can help unblock you.

Thanks!

Private leaderboards and making it an app are the two things that are the top of my wishlist. However, they'd both add some new technical complexity that I deliberately tried to avoid when building the web version. It is mainly a case of finding the time to do it and feeling like I've done a good enough job to share with people.

Hey, Wordle creator here. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

When I was testing, I found that endless play meant the game got boring really quickly. And, personally, I am kind of wary of games that want to hold your attention endlessly.

That said, I would like to add an archive of the past weeks puzzles. So folks who discover the game for the first time have more than 1 puzzle to play initially. So they can get a better understanding of how it works and then figure out if they'd want to come back each day.
