The Werdle Strikes Back

I must preen a bit more, because I’m still proud of some of the stuff I’ve been doing in Werdle lately, especially highlights of the Aeneid in words of one syllable and my very first try at the Anguish Languish. I’m loving the return of Werdle to my life. Thanks to everybody who’s playing!

Pretty soon I’ll get back to Cinderella without the letter e. The really virtuosic performance in that category is undeniably Grouchy Chris’s e without e.

Anguish completely fried my language centers for a few minutes. After spending a while tearing my hair out over those four cheatin’ little lines, I went to ask Josh something and my question came out sounding as if I were talking in some crazy variant of eggy-peggy. Near-total gibberish. Awesome.

You know eggy-peggy? Like this: “Eggi pleggedge eggalleggegeggiance teggo thegge fleggag…” Okay, that might be an unusually unwieldy example.

If language is a virus, Anguish is a prion.

    I take it back. I will probably never get back to Cinderella sans e.
