@lexfri@hachyderm.io

I'm a consultant, podcaster, dad, word game maker, and improviser in New Jersey.

I host a daily podcast called Your Daily Lex. I have a newsletter at https://lexfriedman.com/newsletter. I also co-host The Rebound, Not Playing, and other podcasts.

I post daily word games at https://lex.games — you should play them.

I’m a full-time consultant, and perhaps your company should work with me.

My pal @dmoren is number one on the Conlextions leaderboard for number 225. Can you unseat him?

Have you played Six Appeal yet?

Yes, it’s yet another Wordle knockoff. But it’s six letters, which makes it a bit more challenging. And you don’t HAVE to guess real words, which gives it a Mastermind vibe.

I encourage you to check it out.

Lotta folks just barely eking out Six Appeal today.

Is there an easy or automated way to generate Mastodon follows for Threads accounts you follow that have opted into the Threads ActivityPub beta?

Trying something a bit different with Square Dance for the next week or two. (Potential!) solutions are now loosely themed.

I introduced a new High Contrast mode for players who prefer a bit more visual contrast. The toggle, found in the footer, currently affects Six Appeal and Mind Control.

If you have contrast issues in other games, let me know!

Guys don’t tell Casey but I need to post about Conlextions here because fewer of you played it than usual today — and it’s a good one!

Play it, share it with a friend, and brag about your score!

Today’s Lexicogs will satisfy word game pundits. (See what I did there?)

Added a gameday leaderboard for subscribers. A custom formula that awards you a Lex’s Games score for the day.

https://lex.games/leaderboard

I also continue to wrestle with whether it’s Lex’s Games or if I should just call it Lex.Games. I can argue either way.

Is it insane that I'm making a full-size crossword every day for Lex Games subscribers? Yes. Yes it is.

If you've been thinking about upgrading to paid on Lex's Games, today's a great day to do it, for the following reasons:

  1. I think upgrading was broken since I moved to https://lex.games, and that is sad.

  2. It's a great way to celebrate Easter.

  3. You get access to a daily, full-size crossword, visibility on leaderboards, custom preferences, access to beta games, the ability to create shareable games of your OWN, and access to endless random versions of Square Dance and Six Appeal!

Here's Six Appeal #2. This game is pretty fun.

(Especially if you read the rules 😂)

Maybe this is a silly thing to be excited about, but the new https://lex.games Home Screen is handsome and I’m happy with the direction it’s going.

@glennf the little letter chunks are the cogs, man

Six Appeal looks a lot like Wordle. And it IS a lot like Wordle, with two main exceptions:

• It's six letters

• Although the ANSWER is a word, your GUESSES don't have to be words.

That means it's somewhere between Wordle and Mastermind.

Paying Lex Games subscribers can check out a new game, currently in beta, called Square Dance.

It's currently in beta. It might break. The rules might change. But I like it.

Here's the first one:

@ivory I have a crash every time I try to change accounts in Ivory on the Mac. Is there somewhere I can send logs to? Just started today.
