It's not fun if it ain't a mini blog post.

Now the game is too easy. @snippercommand feels cheated that there are
now hints every 3rd attempt because, well, he figured them all out
without hints, except the 1st one. So, I've tried to make the hints
more subtle, and also to drop them every 5th try instead of every 3rd
try.

I've also made them silent, so you actually have to pay attention to the
context to see what happens. It's hard to find a balance between "so
hard people quit too soon" and "so easy they lose interest because it's
just basically typing what you're told to type at this point".

Time will tell.
