My third guess was gibberish that got accepted as a word and makes me mad that I didn't puzzle it out more cause I think I could have gotten it in 3.
I think the main reason why Wordle is so popular is that it fulfills the Dungeon Master's contract perfectly. In a game of D&D the DM is supposed to give the players a tough challenge that they will prevail over. Killing the characters sucks, but letting win with ease also sucks.
Having the Bard convince the Orc Horde not to invade while the Rogue pulls off a thrilling caper to find the secret info to find out who poisoned the King that leads to a hard fought battle that requires the party to use every trinket, potion, and spell they have in order to win.
That's a fun campaign. Wordle offers something like that on a smaller level every day. Each day we get six swings of the sword to try to slay our tiny five lettered dragon.
I'd like to imagine this is Shirley's reaction when her first guess gets the dreaded 5 gray.

It's Devolution Baby Part 1: Patel Patriot makes up some fan fiction because Trump losing made him sad, accidently becomes a QAnon hero.
Before I actually dig into what Patel wrote here I want you to read this paragraph and then think about his claims that had never heard of QAnon before he started writing this stuff. Image
Patel is "Devastated" Trump lost, he is "Confused" as to why Trump would meekly slink off the world stage. He sneers that Biden was declared "The most popular President in history" when Biden wasn't even President yet so no such claim could have been made.

Patel Patriot has a busy personal life and far to many grift streams to devote a lot of time to his substack grift that he's currently swindling people out of money while not producing content for.
One of his complaints is that he needs to 'fact check' his writing to make sure he isn't lying to his audience and that's why it takes him time to write his Trump fan fic. So now, once a week I'm going to go over an episode of Devolution and see how good his fact checking is.
Tune in Thursday for Part 1 of my series "It's Devolution Baby!" where we'll be going over Part 1 of Devolution and lemme assure you it's incredibility stupid.

It's time for everyone's favorite game show "Answering easy questions a QAnon promoter asks and also pondering what it would all mean if it the questions did have a sinister answer." Today's contestant is the LeBron hater, come on down!
Let's handle the first question and also deal with it's implications. It's January and Justice Roberts didn't want to sit in the cold an extra 12 minutes to placate lunatics (JFK was sworn in at 12:51 and QAnon doesn't think Ike was secretly still running America).
If something was fishy about this I need it explained to me. Why did Trump order Biden to take the oath a little early? What was the goal there? Who but QAnon would care? If this was supposed to be a signal why didn't Biden take the oath 17 minutes early?

Meme's like this aren't so much about PizzaGate as they are about community building. The point of this meme is for the reader to see how pilled they are by catching all the Easter Eggs in it. Somebody just getting into this stuff might not recognize Podesta.
Beyond him you got the hot dogs, the logo for Comet Ping Pong, and if you look in the background the 65,000 dollar price tag on the hot dogs. There's a lot of references to for people to get and to show how knowledgeable they are about this stuff.
So the folks who get everything get to lead the new recruits down the rabbit hole. Those people hate Obama and Hillary and they know "PizzaGate" involves Pizza because it's in the name, but now they get to learn the forbidden truth the high ranking digital soldiers.

While the Mainstream Media told us that the 2016 Presidential campaign was between two of the most unpopular and loathed people ever to seek the office of President QAnon imagines a world where we saw two of America’s greatest heroes locked in a battle for the soul of humanity.
It is no surprise that QAnon views Donald Trump as a hero, a champion of real America who won the 2016 election even with the Democrats cheating in California and other states to inflate Hillary Clinton’s popular vote total.
Before the 2020 election many, if not most of all QAnon promoters declared Trump would win all 50 states. That the America people loved him and that they would rebuke the lying media by showing up in overwhelming numbers to show the world where their loyalty lay.
