As we move through the later half of February, the world often seems caught between the quiet stillness of winter and the first energetic whispers of spring. This week, we find inspiration in the virtue of patience and the beauty of long-awaited returns. The 180-Year Journey Did you hear the heartwarming news from the Galápagos Islands this week? After being absent for nearly two centuries, 158 giant tortoises were reintroduced to their ancestral home on Floreana Island. It is a powerful reminder that some of the most meaningful "wins" take time, care, and a long-term perspective—much like a carefully plotted game of Lexulous where a late-game play turns the tide! Weekly Word Wonder: PETRICHOR Definition: The pleasant, earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry ground. Origin: Coined in 1964 by Australian scientists, from Greek petra (“stone”) and ichor (the fluid that flowed in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology). Usage "After months of dry weather, the first rainfall released a wave of petrichor that felt like the earth exhaling." "She opened the window to breathe in the fresh petrichor drifting through the garden." Global News Snippets Green Horizons: The latest energy outlook for 2026 suggests a historic shift, with over 99% of new generating capacity in the US coming from solar, wind, and battery storage. The future is looking brighter and cleaner! Botanical Time Travel: In a feat of scientific "patience," researchers have successfully regenerated vibrant plants from seeds that had been frozen in the Arctic permafrost for over 30,000 years.

Currently, is it possible to download archival information (e.g., game scores, bingos) for further analysis? If not, would this feature be possible? For games, it would be helpful to include opponent identifiers so that results could be sorted or filtered accordingly in a spreadsheet or database.

I recently started playing lex live on firefox, and it's really annoying that my preferences are not being saved.

I hope Elon Musk never gets involved in a scandal. Elongate would be really drawn out. (Not sure of the source :)
