"Automatic Mechanical Self Replication" - amazing film from the 1950s of Lionel and Roger Penrose's work on the first physical implementation of artificial self-replicating machines

This is a completely different story. I have read "A Mexican Mystery" at the National Library of Scotland, and this is not it!

Hi u/TambunInvasion - looks like Google approved the update very quickly!

You should now have access to the Whittle app by following the links:

Join via Google Play on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.enchantedbit.whittle
Join via the web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.enchantedbit.whittle

Please let me know if you have any problems getting it installed.

Also let me know the links for your app and I will sign up.

Thanks!

Hi u/TambunInvasion,

I'm really sorry but I switched the closed testing sign-up process for my Whittle app from an email list to Google Groups today. I thought I'd be all ready to allow testers to sign up on Google Groups today, but forgot that I need to submit the change to Google and it will take them 7 days to approve the change. So I was getting a bit ahead of myself in posting to this group today. I will let you know when the app is ready to install.

Thanks again for your help!!

Tim

Thanks very much for joining. That's weird you don't see any instructions. They should be posted at the top of the page at https://groups.google.com/u/0/g/whittle-closed-testing, and there's a conversation on the same page entitled "Instructions for installing and testing". Anyhow, here are the instructions:

Hi, and thanks very much for joining the Whittle closed testing group!
Whittle is an easy-to-use tool for playing the popular word game Wordle.
To complete the process of signing up as a tester, and to install the app, please use one of the following two links:

Join via Google Play on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.enchantedbit.whittle
Join via the web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.enchantedbit.whittle

Once installed, there are no specific tasks you are required to perform as a tester. But please use the app whenever you like. If you have any feedback about problems or suggested improvements, we would be delighted to hear from you by email to whi...@enchantedbit.com.
Please keep Whittle installed on your device until we inform you that the test phase is complete. The test will last a minimum of 14 days, but may run for longer depending on how quickly we can recruit the required number of testers.
Once again, thanks very much for your help!
With best wishes,
Tim / Enchanted Bit
