Tip: don’t look at the source if you don’t want to see the answers (I thought the words might be obfuscated but they’re not)

- flanbiscuit 5y agoI was wondering about this but I haven't looked yet. ... So I just took a look now. Are you talking about the huge list of ~12,974 words embedded right in the code?
- dotsam 5y agoYes, if like me you search the source for the word you just won with, you will see future answers, as they are listed in order (at least the preceding word was yesterday's answer)
- flanbiscuit 5y agoohhhhh, ok I see it now. I wasn't paying attention to order or even any of the other words. I made sure not to look at the words after today's as I don't want to cheat.
- bspammer 5y agoThere are two massive lists, one is the wordlist and one is the actual answers in date order.
- seedless-sensat 5y agoThe NYTimes spelling bee, which they said they were inspired by, also is unobscured in the source
