Don’t Panic, ‘Wordle’ Hasn’t Run Out Of Five-Letter Words Just Yet Today's 'Wordle' answer will take a lot of dedicated daily players by surprise, but don't worry - it's not a mistake.

Yep. Seems to be real:

Posting this for my 3rd guess 😜

So if you are currently involved with ISA-level decisions about inclusion of any pext/pdep-like instructions:

Please consider including SAG/inverse-SAG with bit-reversal of the goats.

No matter which of the two implementation methods you are using: All you need to do is not mask the goat bits.

At some point that patent will expire, and until then there's my implementation.

(And I think my approach will still stay relevant after, because it makes it very simple to build multi-cycle SAG cores.)

I think the really important takeaway is that they, my method and theirs, are both functionally the same, i.e. they both implement an SAG with bit-reversal of the goats.

This means, as far as the ISA is concerned, it's a safe decision to include an SAG instruction.

... back to normal ^__^

Nah! No luck. 🙈 I was unsure which of the 4 options I could come up with to pick, and as it turned out, it was none of them... 😂

But I'm still at 99% and that's all that really matters to me. (But tbh, it does matter to me way more than it probably should..)

... Wahhh! I have ~23 hours to decide on a last guess... /o\

Here is the code:
github.com/clairexen/ed...

I can't see any obvious reason why that identity should not extend beyond 8-bit units. But I have not actually tested that hypothesis yet.

I have to make a correction regarding ☝️. I've now implemented the Hilewitz-Lee method as well in my edu-sag repository. And it implements the bit-reflecting-SAG as-is. All you have to do is to remove the '&ci' from the data input, thus it's always more area to implement PEXT than bit-reflecting-SAG.
