I gave up around the roman numbers because I chose to include May...

Think I should try again.

edit: okay, I'm going to call it on the Wordle rule.

That's as far as I got as well

im case you tackle it again, the month does not need to be capitalized, and if its lower case, it doesn't count as a roman numeral

Shortly after the Wordle rule I got told I had to include the country Colombia. Which, with an L, made it impossible to multiple Roman Numerals to equal 35...

Only uppercase letters get treated as Roman numerals, same for periodic table. The real killer one for those two is YouTube url

For me it wouldn't even let me copy/paste a YouTube URL. Trying to do so kept automatically pasting in the title of the damn video. 😠

It's so real, right?

I hate when they forbid c/p password fields - that's so stupid and even lessens security.

One day I might solve this, but this day is not today.
