I've never really thought about this but, could it be because they don't want people to "try this at home"? Either because of safety issues, or my actual hypothesis, because they want to keep their possible pool of candidates as big as possible?
Wait, I don't understand. I thought oatmeal was gluten free, but because of where it's grown and processed, there's a lot of cross contamination with wheat. I buy gluten free oats because of this.
It's very minor but, with the Snipping Tool, the screenshot automatically ends up in the clipboard after dragging the box. As far as I know with macos I have to open the preview and copy it from there. There may be an option in macos to get the same behavior but I don't know about it.
About hitting the print screen button by accident. I have the same issue and like you I can sometimes get out of it by hitting ESC. I think this sometimes fails because the snipping app isn't in focus (even though it's covering the entire screen).
The trick I found to get out of it is to hit ALT+TAB. It ironically puts another app into focus and when that happens, the snipping tool exits. Snipping tool is pretty great though. I wish macOS had the same.
Hey! Fun game! I very much enjoyed the technical details in your post. Nice work!
Problem: I can't share results with Firefox on my Android. It works with Chrome. After pressing the share button, I get the share menu but when I choose for example WhatsApp, it fails with a toast msg: "Can't send empty message". Choosing "Copy to Clipboard" works but it copies null. Any thoughts? :)
Funny thing is; This isn't the first time this has happened with these Wordle style games where you share your results in a msg.
