  • Skin of my teeth on this one, though it’s the first time I’ve played it and maybe the third I’ve played a wordle-like game. Spammed vowels and consonants for most guesses and started filling in the answers. Top right was a total punt, though.

  • Adverse possession isn’t that simple, and laws regarding it vary by state. In this case, it appears to be Washington state, which requires a number of things that indicate an uphill battle for anyone trying.

    Among other requirements, it needs to be uninterrupted (occasional activity doesn’t count), exclusive (the true owner doesn’t use it) for ten entire years, notorious (impossible to miss if you ever are on the property, we’re talking anywhere from fencing it off to building an entire house on it) and hostile (without permission).

    So in reality, if I already owned this, avoiding adverse possession on this property is as easy as visiting it once every 5-8 years and telling them to quit the area if they’re trying to elbow their way in (which resets the 10 year clock).

    So yeah, not as much a free land grab as one might think.
