It takes a special kind of stupid to use my guess for #3, instead of the far more common word that ended up being the solution. I am that special kind of stupid.Β

I've been curious about this general topic for a while but have been reluctant to bring it up out of a sense that the more it's discussed among the group, the more "homogenaity of process" might eventually emerge, and I didn't want to suggest that anyone had been doing anything "wrong" or "meaningfully different from the group" or whatever, mainly because I don't think there's any one superior approach, but also because I didn't want anyone to feel retroactively guilty about following a different practice. Hopefully nobody would, but as we all know by now, Rep is Serious Business.Β 

But I think that the group of us that continues to regularly play some or all of these types of daily games has gotten to the point where we're probably all pretty much set in our ways, and so there's hopefully little risk of me upsetting the apple cart.Β 

Which all brings me to my broader inquiry - what are the "guidelines" that you all tend to follow when determining what, if any, rep reaction?Β 

Mine feel pretty simple, but given that I'm the only non-rageface reaction to @Craftywidget's score above, I figured that this was a reasonable enough time to broach the topic with the rest of the group.

I will always default to the most positive/favorable possible reaction when there's any possibility of ambiguity or "mixed results" across games.Β 

I give a Homer Drool for a 1 or a 2 at Wordle or a 6 or less at Quordle.Β 

I give the Devil Horns (I'm not a UT alum, so to avoid the appearance of any cultural appropriation, I prefer to Hail Satan instead) for a Wordle 3 or a Quordle 7/8. I don't feel like a Wordle 4 deserves positive recognition but I acknowledge that this is a pretty harsh criterion, so I make up for it by being a bit more liberal with my Quordle standards.Β 

I only award a Rage Face for a failure at either Wordle or Quordle and if there isn't a separate basis for a Drool or a Hail Satan. Absent unusually/obviously frustrating hieroglyphics, I don't Rage Face for any completed puzzles, only failures.Β 

Connections has never factored into my criteria because of course it shouldn't, and I also ignore the geography games and whatever other games people share here because I don't know what's good, average, or bad.Β

I generally only factor Wordle into my reaction criteria, which seems to fall in line with the rest of our small gaming community:

  • Answer the guess in 1-2 attempts: Homer drool
  • 3-4 attempts: Hook'em (heart for those who aren't Longhorns or are fans of opponents--I didn't realize you fell into this category)
  • 5-6 (or worse): Rage face

Sometimes, infrequently, I'll take one of the other games into account.

1-2: drool

3-4: heart (I’m not a longhorn)

5-6+: rage

LOL for pithy statements or clever gifs that accompany answers. I try to find a gif that fits the situation if I birdie or better.Β 

My reactions are generally only based on the Wordle results. But if someone completely bombs another puzzle, or points out the idiocy in that particular puzzle, then I’ll give the rage face.Β

@Prepuce of Doom
My reaction criteria are fairly straightforward:
a 4 or better in Wordle or a 8 or better in some form of Quordle: heart
anything less (5 or worse in Wordle and 9 or worse in Quordle) : rageface
If a post is accompanied by a photo (or tiny movie) that I find particularly funny, I will give out the haha reaction regardless of score.

I used to give out the drool rating to a 1 or 2, but have decided to restrict its use to posts in the IWPiHB forum.
The hookem is generally used for posts directly related to UT whether it be a comment on UT athletics, administration, or the stone-cold ruthlessness of stealing the goobers' baseball coach the day after they return from Omaha.

I tend to drink heavily, so this rating system is subject to revision at anytime and for any reason.
Hope this helps.
