The game is Word Cookies by Bitmango. I contacted them but haven’t heard back. I’m guessing it was just an oversight, but it still pissed me off.
Was the question: “Words Elon Musk uses at home”
I love it. But no, it was just an anagram game.
-
An albino
-
A mosquito
-
My libido
(But also: a mulatto is also a type of coffee; not just slang for someone of mixed race)
Where did the mulatto coffee get its name?
I dunno, man.
An Italian?
It means “mixed breed” in Portuguese and Spanish. You’d most often hear the word in South America, where it means some particular mixture of heritage as far as I remember.
HEYYYY MACARENA
Yeah, yeah
So many kids won’t get this reference. Makes me sad. And feel old af.
2021 was just a string of “oh, that’s 30 years old too” realizations for a metric shitton of iconic albums.

They generally just use some free dictionary and don’t censor because that would take any amount of effort.
Get ready for more of this as companies start leaning more heavily on trash AI.
I very much doubt this is the result of AI, as much as somebody not checking the dictionary they imported into their game. Kinda like that Hello Kitty dictionary’s concerning definition of “necklace”.
I’m sorry what?? Why the hell???
I posted this image from reddit
Oh no.
Had to Google that, but wtaf
Reminds me of the Buggre alle this Bible from Good Omens. Absolute favorite scene from the books and it didn’t make it into the show.
Mulatto butts!

I’d say their definition is worse than the word itself
Love words?
You must — there are over 200,000 words in our free online dictionary, but you are looking for one that’s only in the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary.
Very cool Merriam-Webster
I mean, it’s a word isn’t it?
The N-word is a word too. Should it be in a list of words you are supposed to figure out to pass a level in a word game?
Takes a bold man to play that word. Would be funny seeing people sweat to play it.
There’s letters n i g g r on the table
*looks at the letter on his hand*
E
“uhh, mmmm, I… I got nothing”
“My turn! I’ll play E. NIGG…!”
“BOBBY NO!”

Your Wordle puzzle of the day, presented by Truth Social.
You can’t fit it in Wordle with a hard R
But you CAN fit it without it
If the definition provided was:
“A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido. Yeah!”
It would at least have referenced a great song. Opportunity missed. Oh well.
Watched that company. They make cheap ad filled copycat games. They can’t be bothered to spend one day on filtering the words from the free dictionary that they used. Same for the support email, they are too busy counting the ad money, there’s nobody reading them
Okay but what does mulatto mean?
Someone with mixed African and European ancestry.
Etymologically it’s rather nasty: the word was coined in either Spanish or Portuguese as “mulato”, as a reference to mules (“mula” - horse x donkey hybrid).
In Portuguese it seems to me that this association faded away. However, I’m going to take a guess and say that the word is probably a slur in English, so not something that you want to use for its meaning.
It’s archaic enough that it’s probably not a slur, or at least not a particularly bad one. Archer got away with using this as his ringtone.
Thanks for the info - my guess was wrong then.
No it wasn’t. It’s a backwards and weird word.
I’m a native pt speaker and I had never thought of the word as slur. I remember it being commonly said on TV, music, and written on newspapers without this connotation. It was certainly more common than the preferred alternative “mestiço”.
I’m guessing 50/50 mixed race based on context.
Specifically half African-descended and half European (white).
As compared to Mestizo - being half white and half native American (incl. South American)
They went to stuff like Octaroon and Quadroon, having lower percentages of African ancestry.
It’s all super racist obviously.
How does the game work? Did you have to give this answer, or is it like boggle where you have to construct whatever words from a set of letters?
Maybe it just shows a person and you have to spell there race
It has a specific list of words in each level it accepts as answers and you have to get the whole list to go to the next level. Any other words are just bonuses. This was also the longest word in the level.
So like, it wasn’t just hiding in the game’s dictionary, but someone or some pre-coded algorithm selected it to feature?
Unless the game procedurally generates the words from a dictionary
All I can think of is
“A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido”
Maybe we could have a child spelling game based around lenchings. Better yet, I want to have a first person shooter where you only kill one particular race.
This is highly inappropriate and I genuinely don’t know how it complies with the rules let alone ethics.
I’m sorry, “lenchings” is not a word in this puzzle, or the dictionary. Watch this ad to gain another credit and gave another guess.
