While that may be true, the ACS here is merely reporting on the story.

From the article:

> “FSU will take CBA to the Fair Work Commission over the issue”

(FSU being the Finance Sector Union, and Fair Work Commission being a governmental body that does have some powers.)

Nice work! I particularly appreciated it telling me what the potential letters were for each remaining square after I’d started filling out a particular colour. Well done!

Thanks for trying it! Do you think undo would be okay if it “cost” you a turn? Part of the fun (for me at least) has been the competitive nature of it (ie, competing on getting the lowest turn count)

Sorry for the confusion! The word you spin must be a valid word.

So if you had a row like AEBUG, you could tap B then G to spin BUG, and the row would end up as AEGUB. Or you could tap B then E to spin BE, and the row would end up as ABEUG.

(Because BUG and BE are both real words)

It has to be a recognised English word for it to spin. And to spin a longer word, you tap the first letter then the last letter. I’ll be updating the instructions soon, but hopefully that helps in the meantime!

It definitely gets easier with a bit of practice.

PS: I solved it in 8 today, and my friend - who seems unnaturally good at this - solved it in 7. He always seems to beat me by 1; it’s like if the person who invented golf was best mates with Tiger Woods!

It only allows English words (that are present in the word list I found… think valid scrabble words). Does that explain the issues you’re seeing?

Thanks! And yes the instructions are proving to be a common issue in these comments. Will fix those in the next day or so.

Yes that’s right - the instructions need tweaking, but you tap the first letter, then the last letter, and if it’s a recognised word then it rotates.

Not yet open source, but probably a switch I can flick on GitHub. Let me check.

EDIT: https://github.com/clarewolftrust/spindle (but definitely take it with a grain of salt!)

It is literally my first php project in years, though, and first Laravel project ever, so might not be the best educational reference!

All great ideas thank you! It’s amazing how the core game can quickly become only 10% of the total functionality!

For work: a forensic accounting as a service (FAAAS) product, if only so that I can cram an extra A into the acronym. It’s a niche product for a particular legal area that I have experience in.

For fun: https://playspindle.com/ - a cross between Wordle and a Rubik’s cube. The basic game is there, but I plan to flesh out the surrounding features, eg a social leaderboard so you can compare your score against your friends each day.

This looks great, well done. At a previous company we had a relatively simple billing structure, but it was unusual in that it was usage based + an honesty system (clients could elect to not pay in any given instance if the product didn't add value in that instance). Add to that, the client often wouldn't know whether the product added value until weeks or months after the usage. We ended up writing our own billing stack, and would have loved something like this to just build our little quirks on top of.

And as you say, everyone kept telling us "Can't you just use Stripe or Chargebee?" but the answer was always no.

I will definitely check this out next time I'm setting up a billing system!
