Has anyone else tried [Parseword](https://www.parseword.com/) yet, Wardle’s new game? It’s like doing just one clue in a cryptic crossword. Not sure if I like it yet. ---

> **Wordle 1,728 3/6\* 3/13/2026** > > ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ > 🟨🟨⬜🟨🟨 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > SM_E_LL β†’ Slow start. So now I really want to try to place the E, and try a bunch of WoFcons. ENTER would have done this well, but for some reason I Jumbled together another word, to wit > _TE_R_NE_ β†’ So there are two Es, and only two places left where they could go, and N and T as well, and since I know by elimination where the Es go there are only three spots for the other two letters, and eventually I get around to seeing > **EATEN** > > It did take a bit longer to see than I usually take, but with a birdie on the line I was happy to think it through - and it turns out that birdie was a tap-in, whether I went with the good word I should have tried or the bogus one I actually did. It turns out that Scoredle also makes a pure tap-in birdie, so each of the followup guesses ended up being spectacular after the carryover left us with 2114 words to choose from. ---
