Whodle Automation

I’m going to automate the creation of Whodle topics, so they appear automatically at the same time each day. That will help prevent issues when someone forgets to do it, and I’ll also keep it organised.

Just need to know - does anyone know what time the Whodle switches over? Is it just after midnight UK time?

(Please keep creating them until this is completed! Might be a few days)

it switches around 7 eastern time i believe, which would be midnight uk time.

I always assumed it switched at midnight local, no matter your time zone, like Wordle and its other knockoffs, but apparently I was wrong.

OK, I’ve created a Whodle category, and it should be automated so that just after midnight every day a new post is created for that day’s Whodle…

Let’s see how it goes tomorrow!

If it all goes wrong, please create the post for us as normal :smiley:

Not so clever after all, I forgot about British Summer Time.

It should post shortly after 1am :sweat_smile:

Haha yeah I just woke up and realised it hadn’t worked, so I triggered it manually.

I know what I did wrong though, so should do it properly tomorrow :smiley:
