The 2024 Confounding Calendar got a change this year to spotlight 25 entries (one each day) instead of the 3-4 per day in the previous year.

While it was a genuine problem that the sheer amount of games every day was becoming overwhelming, it had a bit of mixed reception, with its pros and cons.

👍 Reduces load of games to play each day

👎 Feeling of competitiveness

👎 Feeling of being potentially left out of the spotlight

This game has some 🔊 sound effects!

(design of this game is very, very much inspired by Lingo and credit must be given there lol)

22 is the most in this concerning game

no more cons here

i dont understand what to do

are you supposed to be able to use different answers? i can only use one and then it won't let me use any more.

Fun wordplay with a funny twist.

If anyone would like to borrow my username, go ahead 😜

yes i like that, #16 is confidently this should be in the game

I am confused.

I expected a LOK-like twist of selecting over used letters.

mr nicely, i am very confused and need a hint

i've solved everything, but the biggest score i could get is 2

i can get infinite score beyond that using the same repetitive method, but that seems like an oversight

literally in the same position (score 2 legitimately, found a way to score infinitely via pbclvat sebz qvfpbeq)

edit: writing this comment made me get it, the 2 that we found were the troll ones and werent actually the main point of the game

which is

hello icely

I would like to say that I have been avoiding lingo related content as I don't wish to get spoiled and know how easy it is to spoil the game.

I'm confused by the controls. It seems i can type in the 9 boxes but no way to drag them and no clear goal.

I think i have figured out the bottom left one, but i don't know what to do with it.


Edit: figured it out, cool puzzle

What is the max score?

I think I found an infinite score glitch in devtools.

Is 13 the biggest number you can find purely in-game?

Please CONfirm this.

How do you define "in-game"? I only got above 10 by looking outside of what I'd strictly define as in-game. And even confining things to the game page, I only got to 15 thanks to some comments.

well from what i define in game
