I too love the Password game! Please save Paul! ~I truly care about him!~ ^Truly!^

(Sorry, I sometimes like to post really bad comments...)

Haha this is great, got to the chess part before giving in

Same. My country was Jordan. Took way too long to figure out, because it dropped me in the middle of an empty amphitheater with no visible road signs, license plates, etc…

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just pasted all the countries and ditched the ones that were wrong.

Ah, dictionary based brute force attack. Classic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yup. I couldn’t figure out the answer from the network requests (that’s basically how I do the Wordle part of it) so I decided I’ll dump everything in there.

When I last played it I got dropped in a place where I had actually visited IRL (Uluru), made that part of the game easy

I'm starting to want to learn chess after learning about the password game. I need to go get further!

Bruh, it just made me google dork to find out where a random street view was. 10/10 would recommend

Have you been given the egg yet? Don't forget to feed him!

My Roman numerals should multiple to equal 35, but then the county I got starts with a C… how do you multiply by fractions in Roman numerals?!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

You don't need capital letters in the country name

I gave up at the 'find a youtube video of an exact length' step

my laziness limit had been reached

It was great until that step 20 where some 'fire' deleted everything I made. It's one thing to make you think, it's a completely different thing to just delete everything and make you start over. Fuck that noise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I just got to the password on fire and survived, but I wanted to move Paul to an edge so he doesn't get killed if there's another fire. But apparently cutting/pasting him kills him. :(

Edit: I went back and got to rule 25. Rule 24 was a bitch and a half, but I did it. Then I had to sacrifice letters, and I thought, oh, I can't use M or D because they are roman numerals for 1000 and 500, so I chose those. It included lowercase as well, and that made some previous rules impossible. In my anger, I may have overreacted, because I intentionally overfed Paul to kill him.

[–] nieceandtows 2 points 1 year ago

That’s brutal

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Man, when I played, poor Paul got burnt to a crisp. I'm still having flashbacks from that shock.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I haven't known that one yet, hilarious :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Don't you have to delete paul to win?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I got stuck on rule 14 where I had to guess the country in Google maps.

I guess it's kind of secure. Does the password change daily with the current wordle word?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

it does change a lot with every try

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

if you walk down the path like 20m there's a sign that tells you where you are

I stopped playing when my whole password caught fire lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks. I was only on my phone and didn't feel like zooming in for that much.
