And I mean that really nicely: Pointer Pointer[^] all it does is load a picture of someone pointing at your mouse pointer ... completely useless, but ... strangely edifying and probably quite a lot of work.

It super useful!
Every time I play one of those newfangled Blizzard game with lots of explosive effects, I always lose track of my mouse pointer!

An ongoing hazard for me, even with the "pointer finder" widget turned on (press the Ctrl key to see where your pointer is). I also have my pointer sized up quite a bit.

That is a waste of bandwidth.

No way! It is almost the same amount of pointing like in the NK last rocket video

The best approach is to try and eliminate
as many letters as possible through the first 3 or 4 choices you make. You can then get the solution, as it is not a word in common use.
That means that hard mode is going to be difficult though looking at my process, you would think that I solve the puzzle in hard mode. I do, except that I don't turn on hard mode in Wordle.

The Windows 11 "taskbar" is disgusting. It should be at the left of the screen, with real icons, with text, progress, etc. They downgraded my developer PC to a bloody iPhone.

I use the same two words as starters most of the time. Most of the time they work well for me.

My two regular starters are doing pretty well too. Only bombed out once, when there were about 6 choices for the last unknown.

Night is falling (in this part of the world), yet the only April Fool joke I've seen today is L.A.F.A.B.L.E (two threads down).
Has there been any good ones in other parts of the world?
Norwegian media used to have a rich April Fool tradition up until 10-15 years ago, making up some great stories. Then some of the newspapers started competing about being the first to disclose all the pranks in the other newspapers. It started in the paper newspaper age: Those coming to the street at lunchtime summarized the pranks in all morning newspapers; the evening newspapers included the lunchtime papers as well in their walkthrough, usually taking up far more space than their own April 1st joke.
As Internet newspapers took over, the joke summaries moved to your morning coffee. Only rarely would you see the real prank story before you saw it mentioned in a summary. So there is no "fool" element left, no suspense: No one ever gets fooled anymore, because every newspaper makes big first page headlines to tell how clever they are at disclosing all the pranks in the nation.
So the fun went out of it. Nowadays, no one cares to make any good April Fool joke in this country. I really hope that the tradition is alive and well in other countries 
I still think that one of the best made cases is the BBC 1957 story: Spaghetti harvesting[^]. I have met Brits who fiercely deny that anyone at all was fooled by this story. Reactions experienced by BBC tell differently.

Honestly, the last 2 years in the US have been so bizarre that any April Fool joke seems tame.
Our "news" media, politicians, fringe groups and celebrities have exceeded even the best satirists.

|
|
|
|
Politics aside, I am sure everyone around the world can say the last 2 years have been bizarre, at the least.

CVE-2022-22965 and CVE-2022-22963 would be some pretty good jokes if they weren't real 
|
|
|
|
|
Political correctness, wokeness, and other trends in society have destroyed humor, which of course has killed the April Fools joke and prank legacy.
