Just few days ago I argued here that kinkajou is not English word and should not be in an English word game. Is bryndza English word? Both have English Wikipedia article.
"game words" in English got a bit ridiculous nowadays. While there is around 170k in usage there are over a million known and over 8k added yearly. Apparently.
Bryndza is Central European/Eastern European product, it even means "poverty" in Polish. Wikisources say it's of Romanian/Italian origin.
But if it's commonly used in a certain language, it becomes a native word.
Their results page for different languages have some interesting plots, especially when you compare languages:
That's the greatest and one of the most frustrating aspects of English as world's lingua franca: it readily absorbs any and all foreign words and makes it a part of the language.
I believe you need 5v to run the regular $4 pi pico board. The chip only requires 3.2v though so maybe it’s not a hard requirement? There are probably other lighter weight RP2040 boards but I don’t think months or years-long low power usage was an intended goal— it’s $4 (still!) with 40 GPIO pins and PIO and it runs micropython for people scared of/chafed by C— it’s a prototyping/hobby tool.
Pi Pico has a lower power mode that sleeps when not in use that draws well under 5v, but you the programmer have to activate it. I think it is called “lightsleep” but may be wrong.
The STM32L011 in no way requires the arduino IDE; your code would likely compile with GCC just fine. The pico would probably work if you redesigned your project, but your hardware very likely doesn't need to change, just the software you're using.
Lot of missing words like kit, sit. And wth is kinkajou? I also did word game many years ago, it took maybe 1 day to code but the rest of the week I've spent filtering out garbage from corpus (names, shortcuts, non-words, non-English words).
