Did everyone else get a pop-up notice when opening Wordle and Strands today? Does this mean it's not going to be free for much longer?

I got a pop-up notice, but I didn't get the impression that it meant that it would not be free. I hope that is not the case!

Let the other societies take the skilled, the hopefuls, the ambitious, the self-confident. He’d take the whining resentful ones, the ones with a bellyful of spite and bile, the ones who knew they could make it big if only they’d been given the chance. Give him the ones in which the floods of venom and vindictiveness were dammed up behind thin walls of ineptitude and lowgrade paranoia.

Just for a change! Harder than I thought...

https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/62 ... -monologue

Scoring
You scored 389/460 = 85%
This beats or equals 68.2% of test takers
The average score is 317
Your high score is 389

I ran out of time trying to remember specific words. Better to just power to the end and then go back to fill gaps!
