Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions

I don't think I'd enjoy hard mode. You've made a persuasive case against it in the past β€” that it results in scenarios where you win or lose based on blind luck rather than strategically winnowing down the available letters β€” but I sometimes go back and give it a try for a while. :P Wordle 1,349 4/...

Re: Politics in The Shire

Not having read (or previously heard of) this book I don't have an opinion on it, but there's a certain joy to reading negative reviews and this one definitely delivered! :halo:

I question whether that really is a proper word.
Hidden text.
I see it a fair bit in discussions of film and music. Though I did learn a new word today, INDUE, when trying to use all the remaining vowels. :P

No and no.

The slightest blow would blow his hat off, and it would not budge even when caught in an oak tree.

It is a helmet, but not referred to by that word, either.

No, but a piece of headgear is mentioned (not the word "hat" itself).

No.
