    Cheating is an anagram for teaching.

    Yeah, I figured
    Was just drawing a blank on song titles containing 3 "p's" and 2 "b's", so I just started messing with words hoping that something clicked. And then I stopped after the two that I posted. And unfortunately got "Half Step" stuck in my head, which has 4 "p's," and now that's all I can think of, both the name and the tune. Cheating comes next, of course.

    Nice tries, gratefaldean, but I had an original GD song title in mind.

...but I spent some time trying to shift Graduated Elf and the example before moving on to the real thing and figuring out how to move the squares and what moving them did. I don't care, it's fun!

I think the miracle that's needed is the details about new releases are revealed. New Box Set please?

The April 3rd feature isn't happening. I'm logged-out once I attempt to generate the anagram. Please advise when it's fixed.

The gizmo seems to work less than it does, and it really doesn't add anything positive to the experience when it is working. I like the idea of an anagram of the day, but also think that plain text would get the job done just fine.

I am in agreement with Mike. This is a very cool idea, despite all the glitches and bugs. But, is it really necessary to have the countdown numbers so big and bold. It's pretty distracting, at least to me. Maybe I am too sensitive, or too slow. Still giving each day a go when it works.
