• Why you should never shuffle the board
false

TL;DR: get in the head of the puzzle maker and use that information to your advantage.

I’ve seen a lot of people talk about shuffling the board at the start because of things the puzzle does to throw you off. While I understand the sentiment behind this, I think it’s foolish to shuffle the board because if you take the logic one step further you can use the information to your advantage.

Very often there will be words that fit together placed right next to each other and that’s usually a sign that those words will NOT be in the same category. The most egregious example that comes to mind is “SPONGE” “BOB” “SQUARE” “PANTS” occupying the top row of the board one day. When I saw that I immediately knew those wouldn’t be a category. Another one was when they did 4 camera brands smack dab in the center (though one was actually not quite a camera brand - the word was “Fuji” rather than “Fujifilm” which is the actual brand name).

On the contrary, today many people thought “hook” “line” and “sinker” would be a red herring and I thought that for a moment too but when I saw that the words were NOT placed right next to each other it made me realize they likely were actually part of the category. And I knew “rod” wouldn’t go with it since that word described the category as a whole (those are all parts of a fishing ROD so rod itself won’t go in the category).

Just thought I’d share as it seems like a lot of people struggled with today’s where having this additional insight would have provided a lot of clarity.

• The broken customization is my only complaint with the game

I love this game and I'm so happy it still exists. And I'm thrilled that they are working on fixing it up, making it and keeping it profitable (and online), and for the most part I am thrilled with the recent changes.

But as much as I love the game, I can't help but feel a surge of dread when it comes to trying to customize my Neopets. Because inevitably, it is a frustrating, bug-ridden mess. It frequently comes with a lot of refreshing, items that get stuck, items that don't show up for no discernable reason, items that simply refuse to attach, whatever.

For something that makes up such a major aspect of the game, not to mention one of the primary (I'm assuming) sources of monetization... shouldn't it be, well... functional?

Am I just not being patient enough?

• What happened to Welsknight?

I'm wondering if anyone knows what happened to Mr Wels of the Knight variety? I started following all the hermits this season and really got a liking for his chill video format. But he just went quiet. I see he posts on Twitter from time to time, but no mention of Hermitcraft, so I'm just curious if anyone knows something I don't.
