Welcome to the Guess My Word blog. This is a place to discuss the words of the day chosen by Joon and Mike. This paragraph is here mostly as spoiler space. Here are today's words:
I just noticed that some idiot is posting the solution as their name. Is there a way to prevent that, maybe disallowing the name to contain the solution word anywhere in the name?
I'll try to remember to cover up the screen before I play.
It's on the second game when I click on the dropdown for Joon or Mike that I have the opportunity to see the leaderboard. But so far I'm remembering to put my hand over the leaderboard when I do that.
Yeah, I can imagine it's hard to code for that. Exact same problem as looking for spam email.
Ohhh - I see that I've been getting to the other game the wrong way. I should be taking the "You might also want to try" link at the bottom of the leaderboard page.

it's hard to defend against idiots from a coding perspective. my advice would just be to play before looking at the leaderboard.
