#Microblog Monday 567: Shuffalo

I was not going to play Shuffalo, even though I loved the little drawing and the concept of the game: You keep creating anagrams, receiving one new letter each level. I was not going to play Shuffalo because I assumed it was like the new Slate games, similar to the New York Times games. They hook you with a few free rounds and then close it off behind a paywall.

But so far (knock on wood), the Shuffalo drops into my inbox around 11 am every week day. I am so happy to see it that I’ve actually been reading the New Yorker more often because of these warm feelings. So well done, New Yorker.

My recommendation: sign up for the daily reminder.
