I have really been enjoying Spelling Bee Buddy the past month or so. I usually start without, then gradually start looking at some of the more basic features when I run into a little wall, and some of the hints when I get desperate. I use the Arc browser, which supports having two windows pinned side by side, which is a great way to use this!
I'll take this opportunity to say that the Wordle Bot is terrible and doesn't know what the hell it's talking about.
The Wordle Bot definitely needs some fine-tuning.
"There is only one possible word left. You should solve the puzzle on your next turn."
* chooses a normal English word *
"Huh, we didn't think you'd pick THAT word. There is only one possible word left. You should solve the puzzle on your next turn."
Interesting! Have you tried using it? I use the hints grid once I hit genius and then community hints (Steve G) to get to the end

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation..
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
