A warning to future players: I got to rule 16 and was given an egg named paul that I had to keep safe. Then on rule 18 a fire (of emojis) broke out in my password, killing paul and ending the game. Dont be like me, keep Paul safe.

"PAUL WAS OVERFED" OH NO!!

Me too :(

You wanna start the chess move with Q...

Many of the puzzles are different for each player, I personally had Rf8+

Yeah, I got an Rf8+ and between that and the roman numerals, didn't know how to get down to 200. Then I tried to move the egg to a different spot and the chicken died.

hey it lets you use multiple elements for this one. I used Hf, Ir, and Ni to get to the next rule.

on rule 18: "The elements in your password must have atomic numbers that add up to 200." My element is "Na" and it says my roman numerals are a problem. They are "VI" and "IV". Not too sure where to go from here.

the roman numerals are all good man its the elements. the "N" in "Na" is adding 90 onto the numeral rule, for rule 18 you can use multiple two letter elements just try and find ones that don't contain roman numerals and you'll be fine

The worldle one I found kind of annoying because now I have to go play another game to keep going, one I don't find all that interesting.

You can fail at wordle and get the correct answer revealed at the end.

Made me stop playing, because I block wordle shares on every social media channel.

I'm stuck on the chess one.

The best move is Queen to e8, which I'm sure is represented in algebraic notation as Qe8. But it says that Qe8 is invalid notation.

I am stuck with “ Agtractbnc2fshellXXXVjune995$” and can’t figure out the guess the country one. I have the one where you are in a cave with a lot of people with a hit with a no smoking and no shoes sign

Try Qe8+ if it's check or Qxe8 if you're taking a piece.

Thanks! That worked, it was a check.
