Got to 18 with the wonderful password "πŸ₯šJanuaryVPassVIIword$Shellr3ny45aboutπŸŒ•πŸŒ–chile28Ng3+"

I think I'm gonna call it quits for now.

Nice try NSA's machine learning algorithm!

Rule 8 is too dystopian for me. I hate that I can totally see this becoming a real thing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just played this earlier today. I got tripped up on rule 20 then when I had recovered my browser crashed and it made me start over 😩

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

I got to Rule 16 here. I had problems because the captcha contained chess notation, so for me to get past it I had to also regenerate the captcha to one that didn't violate any of the other rules. After five attempts I gave up.

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

Yeahhh this was happening to me too. It took like 30 captchas before I got one that didn't violate the rule

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I got to the Google maps step and was like screw this!

🀣

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

I got to rule 24 this time before I lost. It gets a lot harder lmao

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

How did you deal with today's wordle answer having a C in it?

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

Lower case doesn't count for roman numerals!

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

Arrrrr, why does it force me to play chess?

Wordle is fine, geoguesser is alright, but chess?? really?!

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

Chess got me as well, but more because the captcha that they required be present in the password also happened to be an illegal chess move. Not sure how to get around that one.

[–] rhpp 1 points 1 year ago

It doesn't matter if your password contains an illegal move, it just has to include a valid best move, then it will just ignore all illegal moves. Also captcha can be rerolled as many times as you want.

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

This was a lot more fun to play with than expected. I'll just wait for someone to write a plugin or app which uses this game as a password generator for KeePass.

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

Really fun, what a shame I don't know today's wordle answer yet tho

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

Tried twice, got stuck on the chess notation each time, even though I thought the move I was putting in was pretty good, it obviously wasn't the best.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

same, it kept telling me it was an illegal move and that it was white's turn. I WAS TRYING TO MOVE WHITE. There's also the possibility I was just doing it wrong.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I managed a checkmate and it still wasn't happy!

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

Did you remember to add the + or ++ at the end to indicate check or checkmate?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, it didn't appear to recognise the second + though.

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

Did you try #?

[–] ICastFist 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I hate it

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

I tried putting it through ChatGPT 4 and I got the impression that the Ai wanted to cry

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

After careful search for two-letter elements without Roman numerals my password got on fire. I gave up πŸ”₯

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

The fire broke me. I had been playing casually on my phone and had been coming back over the course of 12+ hours. All for nought 😩

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

I did the same! I was playing on mobile and couldn't get rid of the fire fast enough by the time I figured out what was going on lol 😭

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

Well, that was going well until everything set on fire. I didn't sign up for QTEs. Good fun, though.

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

This game reminds me of real life.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I feel like I play this game every 12 weeks.

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

OMG why did I start playing this

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

This is so dumb yet so funny. Once it got to the Wordl part I was like, I gotta do research now?

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

I got to the youtube video and decided to kill Paul instead because otherwise I'd be at this all day. It was fun until it wasn't anymore.

I "hacked" the game (if you know how to get into the scripts, just look for the one that has the unmangled text "wordle" in it) to find out how long it is and the later tasks are simply ridiculous. If anyone's thinking of actually trying to get to the end, I wouldn't recommend it.

This spoiler contains all the tasks after the Youtube video task (and keep in mind, you still need to upkeep ALL the previous tasks too, such as the chess notation or that digits add up to 25):

spoiler

  • A sacrifice must be made. Pick 2 letters that you will no longer be able to use.
  • Your password must contain twice as many italic characters as bold.
  • At least 30% of your password must be in the Wingdings font.
  • All roman numerals must be in Times New Roman.
  • The font size of every digit must be equal to its square.
  • Every instance of the same letter must have a different font size.
  • Your password must include the length of your password.
  • The length of your password must be a prime number.
  • Uhhh let's skip this one.
  • Your password must include the current time.
  • Is this your final password?
  • Please re-type your password before the bomb explodes.

I lost when it asked me to find include a link to a youtube video that was a specific length. Sorry Paul!

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

Lost at the chess move

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

I saw this the other evening and played it. Man, it went from 0-100 real quick. Really wild little game!

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

The captcha part that introduced a 7 got me

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Got to the one where I had to include an emoji. I know I can get them on desktop, but I wasn't willing to learn how tonight.

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

Windows key + semicolon for the emoji picker! you can type to filter as well
