remember when it was called "surfing the internet", implying a fun activity?

Member when you went to specific websites for specific content to amuse yourself, instead of trawling one of five garbage dumps to find something interesting to look at

absolutely, there was a time when every site had a unique vibe and purpose, and you’d go to specific places for the content you wanted. Now it’s like wading through endless noise to find anything meaningful.

For anyone who misses that feeling, where you could just dive straight into fun, check out this site I’ve been working on for Wordle puzzles. It’s focused, simple, and right to the point just pick up and play.

This is what I looked like back when I jammed with the console cowboys in cyberspace.

if you miss those days when you could jump straight into something fun without all the distractions, check out this Wordle site I’ve been working on. It’s clean, straightforward, and all about the puzzles just dive in and https://mywordle.net/

Let's be real. "Surfing" was corny in the 90s.
