See what?

What's under those colored squares.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh the spoiler text? You should be able to see it if you click on where it says "spoiler". At least on the web or Jerboa. Dunno how other apps do it.

I'm on sync and it seems like I can't do anything about it.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Weird. Can you see the source code of it in some way? Maybe while writing a reply? It’s not ideal, but possibly a workaround.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I thought it would work like that too since it used to with Reddit. Still shows the color blocks. Also somehow in my mobile browser it's the same way!

For clarity, here's a screenshot of what it should look like. Left is with the spoiler covered, right is it uncovered:

Oh I can see behind the regular spoiler. What about those little squares though?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

The squares don't hide anything. That's the attempts at this puzzle. The above screenshot shows I got all 4 connections in 4 goes, with no mistakes. I got the easiest (yellow) first, then the hardest (purple), then the 2nd hardest (blue), and finally the 2nd easiest (green).

If I had made a mistake on that first guess and included 3 of the words from the easiest category but one from the 2nd hardest, it might have looked like 🟨🟦🟨🟨 instead.
