New secret J! Archive feature: show recent categories

Post by Robert K S »

For anyone who just wants the category names from the most recent game entered into the Archive (i.e., today's, usually), without any risk of being spoiled on the clues, so that you can make out your Coryat scorekeeping card (paper or electronic), you can go to

j-archive.com/showrecentcategories.php

This feature works great as long as we have someone as reliable as Mark getting in the game relatively early each day.

By design, this page will not show a Tiebreaker Round category, to avoid spoiling any outcomes.

*Consider this a secret undocumented feature, like the Animal Style option at In-N-Out Burger, that you are fortunate to know because you have read this post

Nice, though J!6 for me to get the categories ahead of viewing.

Do you want it to? Easy to do. It would suppress all comments, though.

I'd be okay with that
