The Fight For Wordle Game App

-
App cloning sucks - yeah, talk about soaking all the energy in producing something, yet another person takes away your game by producing the same thing because yours isn't "trademarked". Wordle was invented by Josh Wardle, but the Game has now been placed on IOS and the cloner seems to be getting it to the tops of game download.

Zachary Shakked launched his own "free-to-play" version of the game on the Apple App Store, branded "Wordle — The App," and skinned it to look like the original free version available online.

The Wordle App original creator made this game for his wife and promised not to steal or monetize people's data, but that's just exactly what the thief wants to do.

Andy Baio takes it more personally by stating that Zach, the unmoved Cloner "shamelessly cloned Wordle (name and all) as an F2P iOS game with in-app purchases and is bragging about how well it's doing and how he'll get away with it because Josh Wardle didn't trademark it. 

There have been games with comparable concepts since at least the 19th century — the 1980s game show Lingo was far from the first — but this person stole the name and interface from Wordle to make a quick buck.

"Prior to the publication of Mastermind in 1970, there existed Jotto, a two-player secret word game that debuted in 1954 and included some very familiar gameplay."

The issue is that despite all of Apple's statements about wanting control over the store to protect customers from scams, these morons were able to steal a dude's game with the same name.

Fat women are still beautiful: but beware of obesity

Obesity is a disease that has been a worrying issue in the world today, more and more ladies particularly in the Western world today are conscious of the stigma that is attached to being overweight. Any perceived or actual increase in size is often seen as an anathema which is as a source of social disapproval. While some are naturally slim, others are plump as encoded in their genes. Social acceptance or disapproval of body structure emanates from the culture of the society and passed on from generation to generation. African men (not all) are particularly wary of slim women, whom they label as unfed, sick, bony and are symbolically compared to the letter 1, stick or a tiny broom. In sexual terms they tag them as not 'handy', shortchanged and deprived of the vital body structures to get them aroused. They are favourably inclined to fat women, they believe these women are the endowed. To be a plump woman means beauty to the African man. To him, she is handy, and fleshy to per

CHILD MARRIAGE: I'M GETTING MARRIED TO MY "GRANPA"-THE WISH OF THE GODS?

Child marriage is real and its consequences stare us in the face. its effects on the social well-being of the child, psychological and health cannot be over-emphasized. Where illiteracy and poverty abound, the effects become all consuming. My Sociological analysis is critical of religious dogma attached to some certain belief system and I promise to tackle the phenomenon without bias. I understand the emotional appeal which religion carries, I also understand the functions and its roles in bringing about stability and cohesion, psychological and moral function as well as its role in reconstructing social identity. I'm aware however, that religion has also been the bane of progress in many societies across the world stimulating conflict and resulting in loss of lives and properties. Adherents of religious belief attribute their actions as emanating from a divine authority and their behaviours are the manifestation of their moral duty to the divine. Sociologically speaking however

As women age, their bodies undergo various changes that can impact their sexual desire. Men who are in relationships with women, especially those who are approaching or have reached menopause, should understand these changes to keep the spark alive in their relationships. Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It occurs when a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs, and her menstrual cycle stops. Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. However, the symptoms of menopause can begin years before the actual menopause, during a phase called perimenopause. Perimenopause is a transitional period that can last anywhere between two to ten years. During this period, women may experience a wide range of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. These symptoms can affect a woman's sexual desire and may result in a decreased libido. The decrease in estrogen levels durin
