One of the C-words is nothing anyone uses ever but when you see it you'll go "ah, of course."

At a certain point it tells you you've reached genius level (I'm not sure what percentage of words).  You can "share" it or continue from there.

Every single game has its own share function and none of them make any sense. I guess Wordle does.

I did okay yesterday, never got to the panagram: 


You found 39 words with a
total of 146 points.

I got today's panagram, but not a lot else, I'm at 16 words and 54 points. I'll leave it for a bit and come back.
