Yeah - one more. Resistance is futile.

This from a partial script of Blazing Saddles.

Fascinating. But, did you, er, tweak this in some way? I can remember one pejorative word used quite often, and it wasn't "word".

It's in there! Look closer.

I didn't mess with it, but the chunk of script I found was only partial, so it may have missed some key scenes.

I love Meth's new love for Wordle!

Man I can't stand that movie. That part of my funny bone got chipped off.

word verification is: fatest :)

Word verification is close.

As to Wordle, it certainly appeals to my graphical sensibilities, but I have no idea what academic value it has.

Overhead projectors are low tech, but they can convey vast amounts of information, across many subjects.

Wordle is good for only one thing, graphically representing the frequency of words in a given text. That's not especially valuable.

Ah, yes, there it is. I believe Richard Pryor wrote the script..? I guess I should look at IMDB or something.

C. F. Bear: Our pastor hates this movie, too, but loves History of the World, Part One. So, go figure.

It is almost poetic, I'll give it that. This may have been the worst wordle yet, though, It doesn't seem to capture the spirit of the movie in any way. Ntohing against the effort - but it was either a section of the script that was poorly representative of the movie, or Wordle has found it's limitations.

Here's an idea: make the Worldle, but don't tell us what the source is. Fun puzzle times.
