My pitch is: just reveal that the guy's name is "Doom". HE IS DOOM. A completely suitable, completely metal name

As Tom correctly notes, Wordle gets "Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses" hopelessly wrong.

Absurdle gets itright. In Hard Mode, Absurdle won't even allow that second guess, as the "R" in "RULES" has already been ruled out qntm.org/files/absurd...

I think the integral of distance with respect to time should be called "experience". The longer you stay away from "home" (the origin) and the farther away you go, the more experience you accrue
