Polite request to please stop posting wordle spoilers in thread titles

32 replies

If you are posting about today’s wordle, please can you title your thread ‘Today’s wordle’ or something equally neutral?

This allows those of us who prefer our wordle approach to remain unadulterated to avoid your thread.

Thank you.

Agree. I've seen a thread title which gives a big clue. 😡😡😡

FrankGrillosFloof · 24/02/2022 08:20

Thank you euro - it’s so annoying! Such a selfish, shitty thing to do (feel like I can have a bit more of a rant now that I’ve got my ‘polite notice’ done Wink)

Agree!

KnottyKnitting · 24/02/2022 08:27

Agree- I approached today's in a different way to usual because of what that thread title suggested!

Foolsrule · 24/02/2022 08:28

Agree! So selfish. No idea why people do it really.

colourmebladd · 24/02/2022 08:32

Was just going to reply to that thread saying the same!

KineticSand · 24/02/2022 08:39

My relative once shared a screen shot of her correct answer in our family WhatsApp group, instead of the little box with the coloured squares. There was outrage! I flounced.

BahHumbygge · 24/02/2022 08:50

My “D”H told me almost verbatim what that thread title said, 3 mins after I saw it, so my incandescence is split 50:50 between him and that thread starter 🤬

FrankGrillosFloof · 24/02/2022 09:12

colour I started to reply on that thread too and then thought fuck it, this deserves its own thread!

Kinetic I’ve had that too. Words were had Angry They only did it the once.

What are these people thinking???!!!

Thanks for the support all! Sharing this in gratitude, which I think is quite funny.

Things you don't talk about in 2022

  1. War
2.Bruno
  1. The actual Wordle answer.
BruceAndNosh · 24/02/2022 09:36

I avoid Facebook in the morning because several friends post their grid and 2 of them often comment on the answer. (which is why I got c... k so quickly last week)

QuiltedHippo · 24/02/2022 10:32

You need to do it first thing!

User0610134049 · 24/02/2022 10:33

Who DOES that???
Should be a MN banning offence

AlternativePerspective · 24/02/2022 10:35

Or maybe stop posting about bloody Wordle entirely.

Seriously it’s irritating beyond belief. I’ve hidden multiple people on fb because I’m sick of seeing posts about it.

newbiename · 24/02/2022 10:37

Agreed - people shouldn't post the answer. I haven't seen the thread today though.

RustyBear · 24/02/2022 10:40

You do realise that even posting a thread about a thread giving a clue is a clue in itself, alerting people to the fact that there is something unusual today?

Sebastianthecoo · 24/02/2022 10:43

I usually forget the word as soon as I do it so no chance of spoilers here.

BuyDirt · 24/02/2022 10:43

We always do it at midnight so it can’t be ruined by anyone. 😂

Queenoftheashes · 24/02/2022 10:58

What is Bruno?

AmbushedByCake · 24/02/2022 11:01

@Queenoftheashes

What is Bruno?
Bruno is the new Fight Club. We don't talk about Bruno. No No No.

(This is a song in the excellent Disney film Encanto.)

HorseGallopingOnATomato · 24/02/2022 11:02

@Queenoftheashes reference to the Disney film Encanto

RonniePickering · 24/02/2022 11:02

I haven't seen any with spoilers 😳
I agree with you though, out of order.

I’m trying to future-proof - sacrifice today for the many tomorrows
