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 last event states Ireland "returns to rugby glory" suggesting it had won the grand slam before, but also there was a decent amount of time since the last win (return suggests a hiatus). This would exclude the original 1948 win.

In 1948 it was the 5 Nations, not the 6 Nations (I assume that the question hasn't been rewritten since you saw it)

Ah you're right, my bad. That could be lead to confusion then.
