    I'm finding some interesting results by feeding the fruitful void of games directly into Wordle.

    Here's Poison'd, for example.

    I'm confused as to how one inputs a void (maybe the fruitful void is explicitly explained in Poison'd?).

    Shit, my games of Polaris had gay sex, but no illicit decapitations. Guess I was playing it wrong.

    Still confused....

    They're all the carefully removed blank letterspaces from the text.

    These voids form into fruitful enjoyment when playing the game right. I can only presume that everyone is removing the spaces by hand, putting them in a separate document and then letting Wordle rank the fruitful aspects emergent from the text.

    It's pretty rad.

    Hah. Makes no sense, though, from what I know about the meaning of Fruitful Void--what are folks doing, in here?

    I'd love to know how you guys' names look like interesting thematic elements rather than the world "dice" over and over again.

    You guys are forgetting about the subjective nature of a game; how its nature is changed by the very act of being experienced by a reader and player. So, while your explanations are kind, you're leaving out an obvious but necessary step!

    David, etc: what those people did was read the books, then rewrite them, word for word, and only then remove the blank spaces (from their authored copy of the text) and feed them into Wordle (simple copy and paste, nothing tricky here).
