Much is said about the importance of physical workouts — and they're important! But it's important to work out your brain to keep yourself sharp and ensure you don't experience cognitive decline as you age. Four Corners is like doing some bicep curls for your brain!

As requested, MINTY is now a valid play word

@skyrdle.com can I humbly request that "minty" be added as a valid word? it's valid in wordle and a killer opener that I am feeling hobbled without 🥺

Thanks for playing Skyrdle. The game is pretty mature now and setup with multiple years of words to run. 🫡 There are about 15-20 of you that play it very religiously, and I see you and love you. 💜

what is smol farm? currently just a wife & wife duo, Thorne & Mandy we've made games, we've made apps, we've released a book, and so much more we even worked with Iron Chef Cat Cora once! if you've played @skyrdle.com, you're familiar with our work!

If you like Skyrdle, consider checking out this game by the same dev!

Introducing Dastardly Delves (Early Access) A top-down dungeon crawler inspired by Chip's Challenge. Currently, there are only 5 levels, and a lot may still be subject to change. But you can also use the same level editor tools I'm using to make custom levels! delves.smol.quest

Did you know that playing games and puzzles can help prevent cognitive decline? Skyrdle isn't just fun, it's a way to exercise your brain!

Skyrdle for iOS v1.0.1 is out and adds this feature!

Skyrdle@skyrdle.com

The Skyrdle web client will now let you use grayed out letters on the virtual keyboard. We'll also bring this feature to mobile soon!

Today's puzzle had some people try to guess "figgy," but it was rejected, since it's not on the word list, despite being in the dictionary. Just added it and redeploying now. 🫡

We moved other a new server earlier tonight! This was probably seamless for most folks, but apologies if anyone ran into issues. We now run on @smol.farm's brand new server, College Park (they're named after MARTA stations!)

Skyrdle for Android is coming along, using the same codebase as the iOS version with React Native!

We will soon have Skyrdle for iOS and Android with all the features you love from the web version (including newer ones like OAuth and color blind mode)! We currently have a playable alpha that just needs a bit more testing and refinement.

Skyrdle now has a colorblind friendly mode! Hit "Settings" at the bottom and turn it on to turn tiles blue (correctly placed) and orange (present in word, wrong position) We hope this will make Skyrdle more accessible and fun for even more people!

OAuth is now live on Skyrdle! 🔑 no more entering passwords 🥽 limits game's permissions over other PDS data ✨ shiny new login screen We've tested this a lot, but please report any issues you encounter!

The login button on the soon-to-be-released OAuth flow is *beautiful* It captures the vibe of a slightly cloudy sky until you hover over it, upon which it switches to a polychromatic shininess

Skyrdle will be moving to AT Proto OAuth very soon. What does this mean? No more passwords. Think "Sign in with Google" but Bluesky instead.

Why should you care? As it stands now, when you log into Skyrdle, it has full access over all your PDS data. Going forward, it will only have full access over your scores. It will be able to post on Bluesky your behalf to share emoji grids — but will have no ability to touch existing posts at all.

We acquired what was supposed to be a list of all 5-letter words in the English dictionary that we are learning the hard way has many omissions. This caused some recent puzzles to be unsolvable, and we are putting in safeguards to prevent this problem in the future! Our sincere apologies.

In the future, if a word is in the puzzle list, it will automatically be treated as valid even if for whatever reason it is missing from the main dictionary list. Also, as of ~10 minutes ago, the broken puzzles should be playable.
