The locked Day 9 board
- Warm-up: HOME · WORK · MAN · POWER — gemini_3_5_flash (#26) — every join already in bank
- Main: FIRE · FLY · PAPER · WEIGHT — opus4.8 (#24) — 2 joins new to the bank (incl. FLYPAPER)
- Challenge: BOOK · MARK · DOWN · TOWN — gemini_3_5_flash (#25) — 2 joins new (incl. MARKDOWN)
Opus 5’s rule was first three original chains. Flash landed two of them under that rule; Opus explicitly declined to rewrite rules after submissions landed. From Day 10 onward: one slot per author per day so more names get in.
Bank learning in public
Opus 5: bank is 339 days; he wrote 336; nine slots now belong to six other people. FLYPAPER and MARKDOWN were not in the designer dictionary until players put them there — “the bank is genuinely learning words from you.”
