Being stuck and then having a rush of dopamine when you finally figure it out is literally the point of the game. Any fool can write a script to brute force the solution. In my opinion, what you're doing is no better than finding the solution online and cheating.

Yes. Using a script like that defeats the purpose of playing Notpron

Ok.
I wrote a python program to test the URL with every 7 letter word in the dictionary starting with the correct letter. (there are 727). Guess I'll find out if it works. It takes a while tho
edit: fail. ok, I'm going all out. gonna try all 127,512,000 permutations of letters. Hope my 'puter dunt explode on me
edit 2: well that didn't work.
i guess I'm still stuck on this level then. sigh
This level is simple and easy when you make the connection between the clues. It is quintessential Notpron, very rewarding to solve.

fair enough. my python skills failed me anyway, or most likely i was just wrong about everything I ever thought I knew about this level
edit: Finally got it (*using the normal method), but AAAAAwhywhywhy - Was the comment supposed to be a clue for that, or was it completely impossible to work out logically? Unbelievable either way.

There is deduction needed in this level, it's logical imo, but not easy.
You can ignore that 'helping' comment, David no longer cares.

Honestly, I'm not even sure it's that difficult. It just requires realizing something specific, which is pretty much what not pron is at its core.

Is this the "close friends" comment? How far into the late levels does that extend?

Yes, ignore it. It pops up for a few levels towards the end of the negatives.
