Hex Words

Imagesource: https://hexwords.netlify.app/

Did you know that the plural of "DOS" is "DOSSES"? And did you know that DOSSES can also be written using hexadecimal as "#D055E5"? Neat, isn't it?

The plural thing is bollocks, of course. But you can write a lot of meaningful words Leetspeak-like using the hexadecimal alphanumerics.

It's not entirely clear whether Paolo Ricciuti has checked all 16,777,216 possible variants, but his collection of Hex Words is just fun.

Nice #6AD6E7. 😁
