Wild Stab Word Game
I love playing word games. I am particularly fond of the NYT games, like most people are, and play most of the games in that app on the daily.
Over one holiday break, I thought it might be fun to try and make a little game of my own.
Most of the good ideas seem to have been taken, so I started thinking in reverse, considering the dumbest and worst ideas.
Which led me to the idea for "Wild Stab", where the premise is simple. You get one guess at a mystery four letter word each day. You either get it or you don't. And if you don't get it on your one wild stab, you wait until tomorrow's puzzle.
It's horribly dumb, and all of my friends hate it. So I'd call it a success.
