Dailies
First up, starting the day with a game of chess. Then, moving onto a quick Typeracer match, Typelit page and Monkeytype test to yourself typing quickly, warming up to quickly type out a solution to a Project Euler problem.
That might be quite an intensive task, so next up we’ll cool down a bit with a bit of Sudoku, followed by a fun game of Chessle. Now that your mind has relaxed a bit again, let’s try an International Maths Olympiad! Just one question, don’t worry :)
By this time, you probably want to move somewhere else, so let’s do something we can do on the go if you want to: Lichess tactics and Chess.com puzzle. Now that you’ve moved a bit, let’s explore the world in a Geoguessr game and make sure you know the country names in Globle!
Now, just before we finish up with some proper thinking, let’s combine the previous two dailies into Worldle, then play the regular old Wordle.
However - you’re pretty bad with animal names. So, brush up on them here! :D
Finally, we’ll end this morning’s dailies by making sure you can still program somewhat! Here’s a little list, choose a few to explore today:

Emails
Good morning! Today’s email subjects cover a variety of topics. Firstly, there is a tempting offer from Uber One, where you can get £10 off your next order when you rejoin. Next, your membership to Ludwig is mentioned. It could be an update or a reminder regarding its benefits and features. Moving on, you have received an email titled “WaniKani Account Confirmation Instructions”. It seems to be related to your WaniKani account, perhaps providing instructions on how to confirm it. Shifting gears, there are multiple emails from Wine About It. The first one is titled “Patreon Bonus - Ep. 58”, which may feature exclusive content for Patreon supporters. The second email is titled “Ep. 58 - Uncensored - Why Doesn’t She Call Me Hot”, suggesting a new episode with a provocative topic. Additionally, there is an email titled “500 Days of Summer Watch Party”, which likely invites you to a virtual watch party for the movie. Another email suggests that you should consider going PRO to continue playing GeoGuessr, an online game. Lastly, Wine About It has sent an email titled “Patreon Bonus - Ep. 57” and another titled “Ep. 57 - Uncensored - I slam the door”. These emails likely contain bonus content and an uncensored episode, respectively. That sums up the main email subjects for today. Let me know if you need any further information or assistance with your emails.
