For those unaware, you can send mail letters in Darkages. However, there are certain words that you are not allowed to send. If you include one of them, you’ll just get an unhelpful message saying that you’re using a curse word.

It’s not obvious which words are disallowed, and it can be very tricky to figure out what’s wrong. Let’s play a “fun” game of guess-the-bad-word!

Try to figure out which word in each of these mail letters is making it undeliverable:

Easiest

1-easy

Answer: lollipop


Medium

2-medium

Answer: bioinformatics


Hard

2-medium

Answer: kafkaesque


Silly

2-medium

Answer: thx


Harder (ChatGPT helped with these next two letters. I apologize for the word salad)

2-medium

Answer: roflcopter


Hardest

2-medium

Answer: brbizzare


This game was just a silly way to recreate some personal frustration of trying to send a mail in-game. I hope you had fun, or at least learned something!

(Hint: the curse words can be in-game acronym keywords that get expanded to a word or phrase)
