While that may be true, the ACS here is merely reporting on the story. From the article: > “FSU will take CBA to the Fair Work Commission over the issue” (FSU being the Finance Sec…

Nice work! I particularly appreciated it telling me what the potential letters were for each remaining square after I’d started filling out a particular colour. Well done!

Thanks for trying it! Do you think undo would be okay if it “cost” you a turn? Part of the fun (for me at least) has been the competitive nature of it (ie, competing on getting the…

Sorry for the confusion! The word you spin must be a valid word. So if you had a row like AEBUG, you could tap B then G to spin BUG, and the row would end up as AEGUB. Or you could…

It has to be a recognised English word for it to spin. And to spin a longer word, you tap the first letter then the last letter. I’ll be updating the instructions soon, but hopeful…

It definitely gets easier with a bit of practice. PS: I solved it in 8 today, and my friend - who seems unnaturally good at this - solved it in 7. He always seems to beat me by 1; …

Not yet open source, but probably a switch I can flick on GitHub. Let me check. EDIT: https://github.com/clarewolftrust/spindle (but definitely take it with a grain of salt!) It is…

All great ideas thank you! It’s amazing how the core game can quickly become only 10% of the total functionality!

For work: a forensic accounting as a service (FAAAS) product, if only so that I can cram an extra A into the acronym. It’s a niche product for a particular legal area that I have e…

Show HN: Spindle, a cross between Wordle and a Rubik's Cube made in PHP
Hi HN, I was late to wordle, so I am also late to making my own version. In Spindle, you rotate words on a grid with the aim of assembling the day’s target word. I enjoy it, so I t…

This looks great, well done. At a previous company we had a relatively simple billing structure, but it was unusual in that it was usage based + an honesty system (clients could el…
