Fun game, though four years after Wordle I think we can move on from naming every browser puzzle game "something-le" :)

Slight spoiler alert: The last event it gave me was Ireland winning the Six Nations grand slam, which has in fact happened multiple times. In the event it didn't matter as the earliest time it happened was later than the next latest event but in another scenario I think it could have resulted in confusion and possibly a false negative. Or is it smart enough to know only to have an event like that where its place is not ambiguous?

The -le genre is more specific - they are fixed-round guessing games, with cumulative clues accruing. It’s a great genre (which of course already existed) but if adding -le helps make more of them, that’s cool with me.

I play Heardle (guess the song from the first seconds) and Chordle (guess the chord spelling). Don’t play Wordle anymore, I got tired of it.
