also sweeping through the homes of most of our friends.\u00a0 During a regular exchange of daily stats, one friend surmised that someone (i.e. me) should come up with a fancy 3D printed thingy that would be a &#8220;Wordle Idearator&#8221; so you could easily go through all the possible letters.\u00a0 From that, I started hammering out a way to marry Wordle, engineering, and 3D printing to solve that problem!<\/p><p>Behold the:<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\">Word Wheels<\/span><\/p><p>This is the answer to your daily bit of angst when you have 1, 2, 3, whatever letters and you just can&#8217;t think of what reasonable, sane, 5 letter word has an &#8220;A&#8221; and an &#8220;I&#8221; but isn&#8217;t &#8220;PAINT&#8221;.<\/p><p>I worked through a number of configurations to work out the details.\u00a0 When you receive one of these, you&#8217;ll have a small (as small as I could make wheels for 26 letters and a space), compact and pleasingly weighty gateway to improving your Wordle scores!\u00a0 \u00a0Word Wheels are constructed by hand from 3D Printed parts and a few other bits.\u00a0 These Word Wheels are compact; fit in your hand or on your breakfast table; and provide an oh so satisfying &#8220;click&#8221; as you dial through the letters and find your Wordle, Absurdle, or any other &#8230;rdle you may have.<\/p><p>See this video
