Odd error message with Wordle

Postby AndyT » 14 Jan 2022, 08:25

Over in the thread "maybe one for the cruciverbalists" people are successfully using the share facility in the Wordle puzzle.

If I click on the share button in the puzzle and then paste into a new post, it all looks fine in Preview. But when I try and post, I get this:

Totally trivial issue but a bit odd. I'm using Opera on Android.

all of the one's I've seen have been saved then uploaded as an image Andy.

you can see how they have done it by quoting them.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks. I'll do the same workaround (and did, earlier today). It's nice to know it's not a special error just for me. :)

yeah that's right.
once I have done the wordle the first thing I do is show off to the family by Sharing on WhatsAp. I then do a screengrab of the whatsap, crop it so I just get the image, save, then upload to the thread here. Only takes a few secs.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

cheers

Yes it's because the emoji's used for the squares aren't supported in the forum software hence the error. As the guys have already shared, the ones in the thread have been screengrabbed.

But you ARE special Andy! ;)

Thanks both. Who needs emojis anyway? ;-)
