I'm stuck at "iatetomatoesyesterday0265Z#521juneVpepsiVIIxngxcaboutAg[moon emojis]italy2020Bf7+" trying to solve the chess notation puzzle.
I especially laughed at the rule "must include today's Worldle" and I'm happy with my solution including every emoji for "must include the current phase of the moon as an emoji."
(HackerNews doesn't seem to display emoji. My solution is to paste every moon phase emoji.)
Excited to see what's next after figuring out the best move in this Chess puzzle.
This reminds me of trying to manually construct an Autogram like below. This one is a quote someone else made. I tried to do it myself and it is so hard because the counts keep changing as you write out other counts!
Only the fool would take trouble to verify that his sentence was composed of ten a's, three b's, four c's, four d's, forty-six e's, sixteen f's, four g's, thirteen h's, fifteen i's, two k's, nine l's, four m's, twenty-five n's, twenty-four o's, five p's, sixteen r's, forty-one s's, thirty-seven t's, ten u's, eight v's, eight w's, four x's, eleven y's, twenty-seven commas, twenty-three apostrophes, seven hyphens and, last but not least, a single !

- chankstein38 3y agoYou could potentially paste the chess notation into chatgpt and ask for the next move! It's not perfect but it'd be better than me at it at least
- ailef 3y agoChatGPT is really and at chess. I'd just paste it in one of the online chess engines.
- wongarsu 3y agoThere are apps that detect the positions from an image, and run a local version of stockfish to get the best move

- dr_orpheus 3y agoAlso got stuck at the chess one with "551A!mayShellVIIVr8gecmaboutAuSingaporeBxe6"
- themanmaran 3y agoYou may need the + at the end of your notation if you're putting the king in check.
- sandyarmstrong 3y agoYup, I had to come here to figure out that the + was missing in mine! TIL!
- nabakin 3y agoI think the chess one is bugged. I've entered every possible move for the board I received and none of them worked. Edit: figured it out
- ghayes 3y agoIt worked for me, but I had to include `Rxb6+` for the capture and the check.
- saikaushik 3y agoIsn't Q×h6+ the best move for white, since there is a mate in 1 after that move. Am I missing something?
- messe 3y agoThe game is selected at random each time you play, so depending on which you get the solution will differ.
- YetAnotherNick 3y agoEnter without ×.
- Rosalyn 3y agoCan you please tell me? I've been stuck on it for an hour and a half.... I really need help ;-;
- nabakin 3y agotl;dr K = King Q = Queen B = Bishop R = Rook N = Knight Pawns have no letter . You append a "+" to the end when it is a check move You append a "#" to the end when it's a checkmate move You add an "x" when your move eats another piece . Examples - Moving a rook to g6: Rg6 - Moving a queen to d7 which eats a piece: Qxd7 - Moving a bishop to a3 which checks the opponents king: Ba3+ - Moving a pawn to e5: e5 - Moving a queen to h7 which eats a piece and checks the king: Qxh7+ - Moving a pawn to f4 which checkmates the king: f4#
- bowmessage 3y agoAlso got stuck on the chess game - had to peruse the webpacked source code for the array of solutions...
- irrational 3y agoItaly? Interesting that it is giving different locations. I got Qatar.
- iso1631 3y agoIt's random
- croddin 3y agoI got Colombia, and C is a roman numeral so I think I'm stuck. edit: nevermind I can just make it lowercase.
- BIG_H0TD0G 3y agoI got colombia to, you just have to make the letter lowercase!
- festive-minsky 3y agoI had to use stockfish
- tiborsaas 3y agoBrutal
- jug 3y agoHaha, yeah I used Chess.com analysis and it gave me a clearly best sequence of moves (three to checkmate) but it didn't take the first move from white that it asked for. :( I saw many other struggle with this one too. Anyway, I gave up here and seeing some of the subsequent steps I doubt I'll reach the end anyway!
- Reason077 3y agoI got the chess one pretty easily but I'm stuck on "The elements in your password must have atomic numbers that add up to 200". I haven't found a way to satisfy both this and "The roman numerals in your password should multiply to 35" simultaneously. Iodine (I) and Uranium (U) have high atomic numbers which blow out way higher than 200 and I haven't found a way to avoid them. Edit: OK, just realised that it's case sensitive. So I can use a lower case "u" to avoid it being interpreted as an element.
- porphyra 3y agoI had a chess move that's Rg8+ but Rg has an atomic number of 111...
- dreday 3y agoYou wanna start the chess move with Q...
- porphyra 3y agoBut the best move in the chess puzzle I got requires moving the rook.
- plewd 3y agoMany of the puzzles are different for each player, I personally had Rf8+
- dunham 3y agoYeah, I got an Rf8+ and between that and the roman numerals, didn't know how to get down to 200. Then I tried to move the egg to a different spot and the chicken died.
- sicariusnoctis 3y agoTechnically impossible since queens cannot materialize out of thin air, except in crazyhouse. Also Rg1+ is a rather pretty attraction/clearance sacrifice/double check/mate-in-2.
- vilkkala 3y agoI'm too stuck at the chess move with XXXVJanuarypepsi@3pe4g99tractHechile
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoThe worldle one I found kind of annoying because now I have to go play another game to keep going, one I don't find all that interesting.
- epicalex 3y agoYou can just search for the answer to save having to do that
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoNow it seems progress has become literally impossible because the chess move + the captcha includes digits that add up to more than 25. I guess having to restart is intended to be part of the game, or is this a bug?
- lyvxh 3y agoYou can cycle the captcha.
- anticrymactic 3y agoYou can reroll the captcha
- Taniwha 3y agoIt doesn't seem to understand how wordle does timezones
- dsego 3y agoYou can fail at wordle and get the correct answer revealed at the end.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoThis is indeed what ended up transpiring, but only after trying really hard to figure it out all the while thinking the meanings of gold and green were the opposite of eachother. I take puzzles way too seriously, and I suck at word puzzles.
- zoklet-enjoyer 3y agoI got stuck at the chess move too A591@juneShellVIIVec6pmtractFeNigeria2020
