Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming βWow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

can't paste results.
Wordle only shares results via clipboard. What's up with that

When your result comes up, click on 'SHARE' button which only copies the result to clipboard.
After that you can paste it in a CP Message.

Can't paste into CP message. Tried several formats. png and jpg
Use firefox as the browser.

I'm confused about your troubles pasting Wordle results. I just tried it on my Ubuntu PC. I ran Wordle from a FireFox browser. I clicked the Share button on the Wordle pop-up. I pasted it using ctrl-V into the default Ubuntu Text Editor as plain text. It looks like what you see above my text here.
To me there seems to be a disconnect between what you see/say and what others say. When you click the share button in the Wordle pop-up displayed when you solve the puzzle it copies the grid to the clipboard. What's copied is character data - not image data. The squares are unicode characters. Above I just pasted the clipboard into the CP message box as plain text.
If you have tried this and it didn't work then I apologize. It was I that misunderstood something when you explained your difficulties. Which then makes it a mystery for me as well.

I bought one of these off eBay for nostalgia's sake: Vectrex - Wikipedia[^]
It's really cool and it uses a relative of the Motorola 6502. But the weirdest thing about it is that it has only 1K of RAM! Imagine being tasked to write a video game that doesn't use more than 1K of RAM!
The sound effects are in league with the Apple ][. A single voice driving a single small speaker.
Does anyone else like to collect vintage computing devices?

At least I find it fun to read about. Yet I doubt that I would be spending many hours playin games on that machine 
A small side remark: I looked around a few Wikipedia pages - some are of a strange kind, such as List of commercial failures in video games
[^], which lists the Vectrex among 32 other gaming hardware failures, and also lists 27 gaming software failures. I mean: How did we survive in the old days, without Wikipedia to provide such absolutely essential information?
Another remark: Referring to 6809 as 'a relative of 6502' ... well ... Sure, they were both marketed as 8-bitters. Just like 8086 and MC68K were 'relatives', as they both were 16-bitters, at least externally. (68K had several 32-bit features, and 6809 had a number of 16-bit features.) But who cares about such details, 40 years later?
(For those who remember the CPU wars of the 1980s, essentially between x86 and 68K: That is one of my prime examples to illustrate that sometimes, the best one does not win. But that is another discussion.)

True, it wouldn't hold my interest for very long either.
But I like to have vintage computing devices. Reminds me of the golden age of home computers.

You mean bronze age of computers. Today is the golden age. You can go down to the store and pick up a perfectly useable one for less than $500 that will handle some pretty impressive games that would have been utterly impossible back then, even if you shoveled out over $10,000. Or a million dollars, for that matter. I remember doing FEA in college, and the computation took hours to days. Now it is pretty much instantaneous. God, I don't miss those old 386's. Bootups in minutes...

Whatever you call the age, (its color depends upon your historical frame of reference,) vintage computing equipment reminds me of the time when I was first discovering computers as magic devices.

Ahh! The Magic Age!  Every day...

I find your reply fascinating, even if it doesn't make any sense to me.

(Back then was magic. Now is also magic.)
