I'm really glad that everyone in the Lounge is so smart, but

[Raven]

I'm getting a little tired of all the posts about Wordle and Girdle and Smirdle and...I want the puppies and kitties and good people rescuing animals back!

[MLAA]

1. There is room for both, it's a very large lounge 💖!

[mysteryowl]

30. both, all is welcome.

Have you tried the wordle craze? It is fun.

[lastlib]

35. But NO PANTS!

[MLAA]

39. No ties!

[gay texan]

2. Agreed n/t

[Piasladic]

3. meh... one person's kitten rescue is another's Wordle

I just wait for the possum posts. Who would think that something with so many teeth could be so cute?

[LakeArenal]

4. One of my favorite people posts about those word games.

How hard is it to page past those threads?

I’m not keen that every thought of trump is still posted here.

But that’s what is on some people’s minds.

By the way, have you tried word grid?
Much faster and score points

5. Here is a great puppy post from the other day

6. Perhaps have the admins add a new section

For word games only?

[Harker]

16. Good idea.

One for animals, too, might be fun!

[Layzeebeaver]

38. one forum per species/genus/family for animals...

and one group for puzzles

[Harker]

40. So it's on me to get that northern hairy-nosed wombat forum going. n/t

[Layzeebeaver]

41. Absolutely!

You set it up, and I'll subscribe.

[Skittles]

32. YES PLEASE

put them all somewhere!!!

[AngryOldDem]

44. I'll cosign this.

Anything to keep the peace in the Lounge.

43. Hey, now.

8. Use 'trash can' to block Wordle so you don't ever have to see those posts.

I don't mind the Wordle posts since I play the game too, but I had to use the 'trash can' because there are some buzz words and topics that I just don't care about and some people write post after post about them. Trashing certain words made my DU experience much nicer.

[Harker]

17. Ooh. The ignore button wasn't quite cutting it.

This looks to improve matters greatly.

Thanks.

[Ptah]

9. Auto-trash by Keyword:

[bigtree]

10. heretic

...

[Fla Dem]

12. Do you know there is an entire category devoted to "Pets"?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1161

Many wonderful pictures and comments related to pets and it's a Wordle free zone!.

Enjoy!

Besides, Wordle is a current new phenomenon and will eventually phase out.

I could say the same about the music posts. There is a category for music, and yet DUer's will post a complete top ten list of their favorite music. I don't let it bother me, just scroll on by.

[Midnight Writer]

13. But I have a cute puppy that plays Wordle while my cockatiel sits on his head.

[Donkees]

15. GROWL, BACON, ...

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. Ha!

[MLAA]

31. Good one

[herding cats]

37. I love that!

[Harker]

19. If the lounge were free of Wordle and animals...

there'd be nothing left but trivia, puns, and complaints about yogurt shortages.

[Ron Obvious]

20. You can take my Schmirdle posts when you can pry them from my cold, dead hands, buddy!

[Harker]

21. Can't wait for Schmirdle 2. n/t

[Donkees]

22. I'm trying BIRDLE

https://quuxplusone.github.io/wordle-clone/birdle/

[Harker]

23. Got nothing out of FINCH, ultimately found out I'd never heard of the

bird in question.

Thanks for the tip. Good exercise, as I do love birds!

[Donkees]

24. Same here. Seems to be one of the auk family

[Harker]

25. We're learning.

It's humbling to realize how few five-letter birds I can come up with offhand.

[Raven]

26. I was going to mention Dirty Urdle but I thought I'd get in trouble.

[Harker]

27. I'd stand a chance with that.

[Emile]

28. Takes a few minutes, but do like I do

and trash those threads. They are getting ridiculous.

[Skittles]

29. I too get fed up with the latest fads

I am uninterested in ANY of them

[Wicked Blue]

33. Go to Trash Can in My Account and block the word Wordle

I did that a couple of days ago and it's made the Lounge so much more enjoyable for me

[csziggy]

34. Good suggestion! nt

[AngryOldDem]

42. Usually it's just individual results and spoilers.

Sometimes, like today, there are other threads.

The Lounge is hardly being overrun by Wordle.

To each his own, I guess.
