  • •Simple concept requires zero onboarding; just guess and submit.
Weaknesses

Post Description

Buddy and I used to do this thing where we tried to guess the ages of celebrities on the IMDB birthday page each morning.

Made a simple game out of it - it's sort of a mashup of wordle + geoguessr

Enjoy & happy Friday, gang
