words from wordle 1,932
PEEVE was one of those constraint sets that practically invited zappai. The words were odd enough that simply making them inhabit the same little world became part of the craft. Lari gets there through character and irritation, Robo turns PIECE into a surprisingly tender heart image before swerving into the final complaint, and Diana pushes the language toward social satire.
This is the kind of Worku round where coherence itself feels like a win. The strongest pieces don’t try to disguise the weirdness of the constraints; they give that weirdness a voice, a scene, or an internal logic and let PEEVE arrive as the natural consequence.
