It may sound a little condescending, or like I’m bragging about something as elementary as putting on my pants or brushing my teeth, but I wouldn’t say that this thread is entirely unjustified either considering how so many adults are (almost) clueless about the subject.
It took me only 0.5–1 hour(s) to master this, and any frustration that I had was minor.

Mind sharing some of these bookmarks with us?
So obviously there are NYT games but their division that handles those is on strike at the moment so no playing those until they get their contract.
- Bandle is a music guessing game. Uses midi files of the songs and you start with drums and try to guess. There’s also a mobile app for this one.
- Food Guessr. Guess what the cuisine is. Hint: if it looks bland and flavorless its from central Europe. We seriously don’t hate enough on Belgian cuisine.
- Guess the movie from single frames. Hard but fun for cinema nerds. I play this with my partner.
- This one is cursed and unhinged and I love it. Unironically, you should play this with your partner if you can. Guess the two actors/actresses who faces are merged.
- Spelling game. I do it even in the age of spellcheck.
- Newer one I’m trying. Guess ten things in the category. Sometimes this one infuriates me.
- Context to. This one is pretty hard. Figure out the word of the day. Uses a custom AI thingy to figure out how strongly your guesses relate to the word.
- Wordle, but a lot harder.
- Travle_Challenge. A decent one for in the same vein as OPs game.
seconding @sadschmuck@hexbear.net’s request for those bookmarks. i just got a new wfh job so i have tons of downtime with access to a computer

I can do almost all countries, most flags and plenty of capitals. Can’t remember fuck about Pacific Islands though.
If you are on Linux, there is also the program kgeography to practice geography
(Thanks for the reminder, I really should practice again…)
One of our most beloved comrades dropping some entertainment for our dear Hexbears in this most trying of times, Post-Dunk/Dredge lockdown.
I’ve been feeling it, folks, not gonna lie, been a last couple of boring days without our homie, UlyssesT keeping us up to date with King Bazinga’s post-election euphoria, lib mask-off meltdowns, and other golden turds from the dredge pile.
