>If one of the many clones and variants of Wordle had been a runaway success, and the excellent original had been relatively overlooked and forgotten, I'd similarly be promoting Wordle in threads like this.

Why? It's not a job, or even a fun hobby, to try and ensure forgotten things get the recognition they deserve.

I'm surprised it's hard to understand! I see it as like recommending a cult movie or book to people -- that's not an unusual thing to do, right? Like when you're talking about time travel movies and there's always that one person who pops up and says "OK, but have you seen Primer? You should see Primer!"

It can get tedious if you overdo it, sure.

Sure, but this wasn't a thread about games, or sliding number games, in general, it was a thread about 2048 specifically.

However, some might imagine it to be virtuous.
