Tough word today. I accidentally clicked on Wordlebot, and to my surprise it gave me feedback even though I donβt have a subscription. It had very nice things to say about my word choices, despite scoring a five. So thereβs that.

You know how the New York Times gives you a couple free articles a month? Pretty sure Wordlebot uses those.
