Fun game, though four years after Wordle I think we can move on from naming every browser puzzle game "something-le" :) Slight spoiler alert: The last event it gave me was Ireland winning the Six Nations grand slam, which has in fact happened multiple times. In the event it didn't matter as the earliest time it happened was later than the next latest event but in another scenario I think it could have resulted in confusion and possibly a false negative. Or is it smart enough to know only to have an event like that where its place is not ambiguous?

The -le genre is more specific - they are fixed-round guessing games, with cumulative clues accruing. It’s a great genre (which of course already existed) but if adding -le helps make more of them, that’s cool with me. I play Heardle (guess the song from the first seconds) and Chordle (guess the chord spelling). Don’t play Wordle anymore, I got tired of it.

The last event states Ireland "returns to rugby glory" suggesting it had won the grand slam before, but also there was a decent amount of time since the last win (return suggests a hiatus). This would exclude the original 1948 win.

  In 1948 it was the 5 Nations, not the 6 Nations (I assume that the question hasn't been rewritten since you saw it)

    Ah you're right, my bad. That could be lead to confusion then.

"Ireland Wins Six Nations Grand Slam" is such an obscure, hyper-local event which should be a part of localization I guess. I understood every word, but not the whole sentence.

  First great to have non US questions. This is how we see many quizzes as too local. Would you have objected to an American Football question? But Ireland have won the Grand SLam 4 times so could appear in several postions So not a good question.

  Rugby’s not that obscure or local. The Six Nations mentioned include England, France and Italy.

    Neither is skiing or ski jumping, but it is limited in the sense of exposure. I bet most people would not be able to name the best ski jumper in 1995, but a lot of people in my country would.

      I can't really name any ski-jumping results from memory, and I have only the fuzziest recall of its history. But I haven't claimed and wouldn't claim that ski-jumping is an "obscure, hyper-local" sport, either, so this is not really relevant. "Hyper-local" would be something like road bowling.
