Four more Wordle Doodles! Four more Wordle Doodles! MESSY (and S-E (-l-f-i-s-h)), (a.) COPSE (a. b.), ELEGY(-h-o-s-t!), and SLOOP (C. Dogg). #wordledoodle #goofus #copseandrobbers #rubberhose #shipart #wordle #wordleart

A messy cinemagoer tosses the wrapper from their icecream behind their seat.

A copse of trees, from which there emerges a band of robbers, surprising a lone, uh, robbee. (That's a word, right?)

In a Fleischeresque rubber hose-styled scene, a ghost is the only one not appreciating the emotional elegy being delivered at his funeral.

A golden sloop slices through the roiling ocean waves.

You won't believe these four incredible Wordle Doodles - doctors hate them! NIFTY, FOCUS, RINSE, DEALT #hazbinhotel #mars #drinkfromthehose #hewhosmeltit

This is my Hazbin OC “Nifty” who is like Niffty but green.

A rubber-hose styled Mars exploration rover based on Spirit & Opportunity brings its FOCUS to a Martian rock.

We drank from the hose
And RINSEd with the hose too
And swam in the unidentified green goo
In hindsight we probably should not have done that

A guy standing in a cloud of smelly gas fans his hand and holds his nose, for he hath smelt it. But alas, according to international playground law this also means that he hath DEALT it.

Let's see what we've got beaming in on the Wordle Doodle-o-Tron today... A flower that was popular in the '90s, a video game that was popular in the '90s, a bird that was more populous in the '90s, and more flowers. LIVEN, BURST, DRYLY, ASTER #dancingflower #commanderkeen #nzbirdoftheyear #flowers

Remember the animatronic sound-activated novelty dancing flower? It's back - in Wordle Doodle form - to LIVEN up the partaaaaay!

Commander Keen hates to BURST your bubble, Mr. Garg, but you're the bad guy here!

Kiwi dryly reminding you to vote for the NZ bird of the year while already knowing full well which bird you're actually going to vote for.

They call it ASTER but I've never seen it ast. Oh- there it goes.

Give a big Wordle Doodle round of applause for NOUNY AND THE ADJECTIVES! Micro-WAGER, SOUPY mishap, BEIGE beach, and BLIND Justice! #insect #mantis #caterpillar #soup #liminalspace #beachcore #justice

A gambling mantis and a kittycaterpillar put gold coins into a hat.

In a twisted moment of disaster, someone has knocked over a can of soup. Soupy twist!

A log rests at the water's edge on a sandy beach on an overcast day. Something that I find very “liminal space”. Like the beach isn't open for visitors when the skies are grey. Rocky beaches that people don't flock to for swimming and sunbathing don't quite have the same vibe when it's rainy for them though. Only sandy beaches.

The scales of Justice, who is traditionally blind(folded), and in this case out of shot. But we know.

Yes, the pattern of squares looks like the poop-with-a-face emoji, I know. But sometimes a high brow option suits the prompt better. Oh well. Next time! 💩

This monolith encounter in No Man's Sky is ~clearly~ a reference to #ShrekIsLife, right up to and including Smash Mouth's "All Star" being referenced as a "tribute to sad vocal". #nomanssky #shrek

Screenshot from No Man's Sky with a text-based interaction with a monolith labelled as "Tribute to Sadvocal (Vy'keen Monolith)" reading: "I am suddenly underwater. I am drowning. Water clogs my lungs. My chest is on fire. I gasp for air where there is none, and feel only tepid liquids filling me inside and out. My vision is clouding. I know this is my time. This is it. This is what it feels like.

Suddenly, a green hand thrusts itself through the surface of the water. The light is fading"

Options for the player are "Die" and "Reach for hand".

The partially-translated inscription on the monolith (which, if they can be interpreted well, usually provide hints for how to respond) reads "warrior usumula euijungu angq. embrace death."

The monolith is shiny and appears dark blue in the hazy, pink light. Shadowy, maroon mountains loom before a starry, magenta sky dominated by a sister planet or moon.

Four more Wordle Doodles for the modern appreciator of all things artistic: MOUND, REMIX, RULER, JOIST! #archaeology #halloween #spooktember #remixing #duckman #kingchicken #ikea #wordle

On a lone burial MOUND, a skeleton emerges to behold a sky of stars and a city of lights.

A corporate memphis-styled DJ produces a REMIX.

Duckman is dressed like a royal RULER, while the real king - King Chicken - looks on in disbelief at the gall of it.

There once was some food from a GRILL And a MURKY, deep-sea cloud of krill Plus a guy I could TRACE With PRAWN-juice on his face So I Doodle the Wordle and chill. #simpsons #steamedhams #doomthedarkages #district9

This scene, in which one man has decided to grill another about their shared meal, was drawn 100% from memory, if you can believe it.

In the murky depths of the hadal zone, a lone bigfin squid drifts eerily like one of the enormous background objects in that one chapter of Doom The Dark Ages.

A tracing of a picture of someone tracing a picture, with not a trace of consideration for whose work may be getting ripped off.

Kids hiding in the kitchen from two raptors on the loose.

A big ol' green slab of aspic in a garish pink tray on a red & white checkered tablecloth.

Did you know that one of the collective nouns for goats is "tribe"?
This also applies to baboons, but the pattern looked more like a goat to me.

A brassiere being removed in a striptease.

Anyone know why so many of the most famous composers ever would name their pieces of music stuff like "Symphony No. 18 in E flat"? What's with that? Imagine if all the latest video games had titles like "Shooter #891 in Unreal Engine". That would be stupid. Was alleged genius Mozart actually stupid?

Wordle Doodle foursome! CANAL - AVIAN - CLACK - STOUT

Canal with a small boat floating at the edge of the water.

Kākāpō - gotta be one of my fave-ian avians. The Big Chungus of parrots. And it's yellow and green, so that's artistically convenient.

Someone clacking the "Esc" key while a bunch of code (written by me, although it's just pseudo code that looks technical and doesn't do anything, and it even has a typo in it so it wouldn't work anyway even if it was real code lmao) displays on the monitor alongside a sequence of computer-y operations that maybe indicate that something very cyber is going down.

Digimon Beatbreak meets All Tomorrows. A perfect match, considering Gekkomon is a lizard that rides around on a human and decides when either of them is allowed to eat. #DigimonBeatbreak #digimon #alltomorrows #specevo #gekkomon #saurosapient

A realistic-looking Gekkomon riding on the back of a very bestial-looking Tomoro Tenma from Digimon Beatbreak, illustrated in the style of the Saurosapient picture from "All Tomorrows" (an intelligent lizard riding a mount descended from humans). The title "All Tomoros" is rendered in the style of the "Glowing Dawn" title from Digimon Beatbreak.

TODDY. SLING. DEMON. AMEND. What do all these things have in common? That's right, they're the subjects of this Wordle Doodle update! #hottoddy #michelangelo #david #lemondemon #darthvader #starwars #rotj

A toddy of the hot variety, held in a mitten on a snowy day.

Michelangelo's David, with a focus on the sling.
I could've just mirrored my resulting wordle pattern to match the statue but adding a mirror to the statue to make it match the pattern seemed more fun.

How could I not draw Lemon Demon / Neil Cicierega emerging from a lemon when my last two guesses were Lemon followed by Demon? And the fact that the shape looks remarkably like some type of impish critter is also an incredible coincidence.

Because, like, Darth Vader removes his helmet one last time to make AMENDs with his son.

And also George Lucas notoriously AMENDed this movie with loads of CGI edits

I had two equally unrejectable ideas for this one so I drew both.

I made some Wordle Doodles In order, they occur As EMCEE, CRUDE, then PUPPY, And finally DEMUR! HEY! #corporatememphis #sportcore #pupper #dinosaur

A woman at a podium holds a microphone aloft, winking and smiling charismatically. Stars and spotlight beams flash around her, indicating how important and charismatic she is as an emcee. The style is minimalist and somewhat corporate memphis-like.

A scowling fellow makes a crude gesture with his fist. I'm not sure what to call this style of art other than "Graphics for the Olympics, possibly Soviet" or "Sportcore". Any better ideas?

A dinosaur, or perhaps decline-o-saur, more specifically a T.rex, demurs at the very idea of running from whatever is occurring out-of-shot that is very, very bright and making a pteranodon fly away in the background.

What do we want? Wordle Doodles! When do we want them? Every four days! We're QUEER! We're UNITY! We're ACUTE! And we're SCOOP! #muppets #scooter #richardhunt #theatrekid #corporatememphis #handshake #thingee #soup #wordle

Close-up of Scooter from The Muppet Show making the peace sign with one hand. There's a green heart on his sleeve. In the background are the curtains of the Muppet Show theatre's stage.

Two green hands shaking hands in front of coloured blobs.

That's an acute injury for Thingee, acute psychological trauma for an entire generation of Kiwi kids. That's right, it's a drawing of beloved NZ puppet Thingee's eyeball popping out of its socket.

Sure, it's a bit of a stretch to match my Wordle solution to this grisly scene from history, but these patterns of yellow and green are Rorschach tests of a sort, so if you happen to get a glimpse into my childhood traumas - even ones that the "experts" at "Big TV* " (*latest fad) insist never happened as we collectively remember it for some reason - well, I can't help that!

It'd be funny if I also made this one being Thingee getting his eyeball scooped out, right? Hah, well--- *SOME* SOUP FOR YOU!

A green ladle scooping some kind of golden brew from a cauldron or pot.

Another Wordle Doodle quadriptych: Nobly! Morph! Thumb! Mafia! #animorphs #mafia #coolandgritty

A dapper military man nobly wearing a green coat with gold epaulettes, medals, and a sword for the noble art of swordfighting sits nobly astride his noble steed; only the horse's head and puffy tail are in frame. The horse looks unimpressed.

A tribute to classic "Animorphs" book covers, a cool 1990s kid in a green hoodie and purple glasses is morphing into a yellow snail, depicted in 4 stages. The daily Wordle number and solution ("1813 - MORPH") is shown up the top in the Animorphs font where the word "ANIMORPHS" would normally be displayed, and in the title of this "book" is "The Wordle". The tagline is "Anise, grout, dowry, color....", which are the incorrect guesses leading up to the solution.

A grotesque dismembered thumb, zombie-green and smeared in places with blood, lies on the ground, a single cartoonish but anatomically inaccurate bone protruding from a wound that suggests that the thumb was bitten off by something rather than cleanly sliced off.

A cool, gritty Mafia guy in a fedora and pinstripe suit scowls at the viewer head-on, raising a golden pistol. Behind him one can see the legs of a bleeding corpse. The lighting is cool and gritty, as well as rather abstract, and there are large but faint, typewritten letters in the background, also cool and gritty. The barrel of the gun merges with a gritty - but cool - city skyline. #coolandgritty
