Gerrit,

This is an ingenious idea and a marvelous piece of XSLT and a great user
interface as well. Everyone who was in Prague knows, why you could not win
Demo Jam this year.

Thanks,
- Michael

PS: I am still thinking about ways to brag about my successes, like the Wordle
share button...

Those of you who've been to XML Prague already know it: My demojam
contribution is a Wordle-inspired game, written -- of course -- in XSLT and
running in the browser using SaxonJS.

It's not just fun, but also educational. See for example the difference
between
//li[position() mod 3 = 0]
and
/descendant::li[position() mod 3 = 0]
or
(//li)[position() mod 3 = 0]
when applied to the second example.

I cannot promise that there will be a "daily" challenge each and every day.
But please send me links to XML files on Github or elsewhere, together with
secret XPaths, and I will use them as input for the daily challenge, with some
attribution if you don't object.

The distance calculation used to be so buggy, it haunted me until today when I
finally got it right (which I thought at least five times already in the past
10 days). If it doesn't compute the distances as you'd expect them to be from
the documentation, please file a bug report.
