Announcing RADDLE, my new word transformation game.

raddle.quest

It’s a twist on conventional word ladders — instead of changing one letter at each step, you’re changing the entire word based on a clue. But it’s up to you to determine which clue to use.

Yeah six folks got it in one.

Mystery Theme #2 is up and running. I think you'll enjoy this one. We've got about 30 solvers so far, after just two of the six theme Raddles. Can you join them?

If they make another Star Trek movie, can we have James Gunn direct it? Not because of his directorial skills; I just think it’s about time a narrative included Gunn’s Chekov.

Think of a part of the body near the top. Remove every other letter and you'll get a part of your body at the bottom. What parts are these?

This rules. I want to see a dramatic recreation of this scene.

To answer that would be to reveal too much. I'll just say that the more Raddles I release, the clearer it'll be what the answer is.

I'll add it to the list! I'm not generally a fan of adding user-specific settings, as it makes the code messier and harder to test, but I'm not saying no.

Updated the share text on Raddle to be more friendly, putting the theme words up top, and using brighter and easier-to-scan emoji. Thanks to everyone who asked for this and offered suggestions.

Saw this guy’s vest from across the room at the Art Institute and /immediately/ clocked it was Ferris Bueller’s. Then I saw the shirt of the man he was walking with. Had to approach. Just two dudes cosplaying for fun. Heading to Wrigley later today. (I asked about renting a Ferrari. They tried!)

Just noticed something … odd … about the name of the protagonist on Poker Face. Nice work @rianjohnson.bsky.social

I understood that reference 😛

I love raddle.quest because it has that satisfying feeling of being in sync with the person you’re playing with, one instance after another of “I understood that reference.”

Today’s puzzle is the first time I’ve been completely stumped, and it feels oddly like the 2nd lobster scene in Annie Hall.
