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:
Something is amiss...is there anything that can be done from the admin end about the daily updating?
My new routine is to click my bookmark/go to the leaderboard from the previous day (unless I remember what yesterday's word was) and just enter it into the box as my first guess...
I'd say about 30% of the time the site has failed to update and I get a "Congratulations"...
Then, close tab/close browser/Google search "guess my word"/click link/enter previous day's word - like as not this has "fixed" it and it gives me the up/down choice - then I back completely out and start with my preferred first word and proceed with current day's word guessing.
Bookmark updated since your update, Joon - and updated a couple times based off the on-page links and also from fresh Google search returns (which DOES provide the new, correct link).
However I notice that #1 on today's leaderboard for Mike's word is "saguaro" from yesterday...

...clunky but foolproof...

not sure what the problem is. according to everything i can tell, the word is updated promptly every day at 9 am (eastern).
Deleteis it possible that you are using an outdated bookmark? the links at the top of this page should take you to the right place.
