This pup is the rare runt that was posted at the Rex Parker blog *before* postin it here. It was inspired by some blog discussions about yesterday's NYTPuz, concernin possible copycat duplication of theme efforts. M&A wanted desperately to get in on the dupin scheme. Folks who read my blog contents yesterday might therefore have a slight solvequest advantage. Just sayin.
I splatzed this pup here first, a few nanoseconds ahead of postin it on the RP Blog. Also kinda a first. Sooo … again, M&A comments on today's blog might help, ever so slightly. No refunds, tho.
Folks in the know have clued M&A into a puzzle called Wordle. It's kinda runty and cute. Sooo … as a one-time salute to Wordles, here is M&A's take at a runtpuz/Wordle hybrid. Might be a biter.
Better check out the Wordle description first on Wikipedia, if U don't know what it is about, tho.
That was fun, even tho I couldn't finish it all. Thanks!
Back in the 90's (IIRC), I played a similar game with coloured pegs, but can't recall the name of it. Well dang, the Wordle article mentions it, Mastermind.
OK. M&A has decided that 1-Down in this puppy was too obscure, for the help it was gettin from its crossers. Therefore, this slightly friendlier version is now also available …
@M&A. Here is an idea for a puzzle: http://puzzlecrowd.com/puzzle_idea.html
If you are inspired by it I would be interested in seeing the result. I am posting the idea as a link so that if the puzzle ever materializes, readers here can do it without prior knowledge of the theme.
I am just starting to catch up after a spell of computer malfunction. This runt was chewing me up and spitting me out, and then came a Phone Call I Couldn't Ignore. (Too many of those these days!) Very clever puzzle; sorry I couldn't give it a batter fight.
Sorry that "Orbital Orb Meat" turned out to be [surprisinly to m&e] such a biter. And Wow, an unreleased runt from 2018! M&A might start callin this kinda pup a "stray"…
If U have comments for any of the runts above, I'd say go ahead and leave em here, in this blog thread. But I will splatz the next runtpuz over there on that new blog thread.

I am just starting to catch up after a spell of computer malfunction. This runt was chewing me up and spitting me out, and then came a Phone Call I Couldn't Ignore. (Too many of those these days!) Very clever puzzle; sorry I couldn't give it a batter fight.
Thanks.
" . . . a better fight." of course.
