THE MOST "BOARD GAMES" THING I'VE EVER DONE: I came to Saint Paul with only one game, knowing my Leder coworkers have anything I'd want to play. That game? Sidereal Confluence (first edition) Today I went to @0sjw0.bsky.social's board game yard sale and bought one game. What was it? Well...

This sounds a lot like what you were doing before, though. Maybe without the coworkers.

"Glenn Cook spent most of his career working on a GM assembly line. He would write in his head while he worked the line, then quickly jot down his thoughts in a small notebook during short breaks. At night he turned his notes into prose. He wrote three books a year using this method."

Would it be easier to just generate a list of every four letter word and then make games for them?

A bigger part of my new job than I anticipated is sitting in a room with my coworkers, saying words related to a new game, and counting if they're four letters long.
