You'll need a laptop or a desktop computer for this. 1. Open a web browser and go to Wordle - https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle 2. Press the F12 key. This opens something called the "console" where we can examine the code. 3. In the panel on the right, look for the text "<script src=main" followed by some letters and numbers. 4. Find the segment in quotes: "main.e65ce0a5.js" This game is made in a programming language called JavaScript, and this main.js file contains the code that makes it work. 5. Right click "main.e65ce0a5.js" and select "Copy Link Address" 6. Open a new tab and paste in the link Don't worry. It looks worse than it is. 7. Scroll down about 1/4 of the way and locate the list of words in quotes. These are the past, current, and future words of the game. Today is January 27th, 2022 and yesterday's word was "whack." Press CTRL and the "F" key and type in "whack" and the browser will find it for you. The next word in the list (mount) is today's word. Try it in Wordle. Tomorrow's word will be "perky." This pattern should continue until cheating becomes widespread enough to catch the attention of the creator, who will probably fix it. In the meantime, if you run in social circles that care about this game, you can bring them back down to Earth by constantly "solving" the puzzle in fewer turns than they do.

Now that the social network "Parler" is back online you may be wondering how to install it on your iPhone or iPad since, as of the time of this video, it is still unavailable in the Apple App store. Unfortunately it's impractical to install apps on an iPhone outside the app store, so in this video we're going to work around that by creating a link to Parler's website on your iPhone's home screen. It won't be the official app, but through a combination of a link on the home screen and saved credentials in Safari, we can closely approximate the experience of installing the official app. This process will be demonstrated on a stock iPhone 7 running running iOS 14.4.
