Wordle today: Answer, hints for November 8, 2026

Today's Wordle answer is FIDDLE. The game's origins trace back to 2013 when it was created by software engineer Josh Wardle for his partner. The game gained widespread popularity, leading to numerous fan-made variations such as Squabble, Heardle, Dordle, and Quordle. In November 2023, The New York Times acquired the game, and the NYT Games subscription service began offering access to the Wordle Archive.

Despite its current difficulty perception, Wordle remains unchanged in terms of challenge. For today's Wordle, a hint is provided: "The original." Fiddle is a 5-letter word starting with the letter F, and it does not contain any double letters.

Inode Exhaustion: The Disk Full Error That Makes No Sense

You run df -h and the root partition shows 85% used. Plenty of space left, right? Then you try to create a new file and get: No space left on device . You check again. You reboot.

  • Inode exhaustion occurs when lack of available inodes, not disk space, causes disk to appear full.
  • Tiny files like npm installs and log rotation contribute significantly to inode exhaustion.
  • Prevention includes proper logrotate configuration and monitoring inode levels with cron jobs.

I make 2D characters by generating a short animation video and cutting it into a sprite sheet. For a while that meant ffmpeg, a Python script and a lot of fiddling with transparency.

  • Extract frames by manipulating video element's currentTime property and waiting for seeked event.
  • Identify backdrop color using corners of each frame for background removal.
  • Implement process with plain JavaScript, no external dependencies, returning array of frame data.
