On June 17th, Phordle will have been running for a whole year!!

We've had a whole year of 5 letter dnp-related words (longer words on Sundays) and I don't know about you, but I want to keep the fun going.

But, the rate of new words coming in has slowed and so I wanted to know how you feel about re-using words that have been used for the Phordle before.

If we did, I'd still prioritise newly submitted words so please check the archive for previously used words and submit your 5-letter dnp-related words via ask

If we didn't, that's okay too, nothing would change and I'd continue to come up with words and use words you guys submit.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i finished my dnp cross stitch!!!!!! finally!!!!!!!!!!

i made this for my best friend who’s 30 on sunday. she and i met and became friends 13 years ago because of dan and phil and this picture is based off of a photo she took at tit (dan’s holding the flowers she gave them at the end of the show).

i’m framing it and giving it to her tomorrow i’m so so so excited

I'm currently trying to get a friend into the fwb trope and you have some absolutely excellent stuff there

Hey anon, thank you so much!! fwb is my absolute favourite trope of all time and so I've written a couple, but also read a lot of it too. I do have some Friends With Benefits rec lists if you need a few more to sweeten the deal with your friend:

First one here

Second one here

Flatmates by @intoapuddle If you haven't read this by now, what are you doing? Cruel Summer by @ahappydnp That summary alone is enough to make me eyes go wide with glee, I re-read this a whole bunch and I love it slutville, population two by @dvp_95 Fake Relationship and friends with benefits, as they so often go hand in hand and that's a pairing I stand by

i saw someone else do this (can’t find the post now but pls tag them if you know) & i wanted to as well! the heated rivalry tag can be sooo intimidating & there are many that have gone super viral (which i love) but i wanted to highlight some ones you may have missed! every fic recced here has under 5k hits on ao3 and all but one are under 10k words! i really enjoyed reading these & i hope you will too :)

1. the cage i was in fell away by formidablehedgehog M, 4.5k

Because yesterday hadn’t ended cleanly. It hadn’t ended after they hooked up, or even with the leaving. It had ended earlier than that, on the couch, with Rozanov’s leg pressed warm and solid against his, with his hand loose and familiar at Shane’s wrist, with his lips brushing against Shane’s hair. With the sudden, bone-deep understanding that whatever this was had tipped, quietly and decisively, into something Shane didn’t know how to carry.

Going back feels like tempting fate, stepping deliberately into a place he already knows he can’t afford.

2. only threw the party for you by fardimensions T, 2.6k

On New Year's Eve, Ilya finds someone to kiss.

3. the second of two by Pettecal72 E, 5.3k

Ilya arrives at the cottage. He wants, but wanting doesn’t come easily.

4. snow day by aceface M, 5.8k

“Bad news,” Rozanov says, walking back into the bedroom. “I cannot leave. Weather is too bad.”

“The weather?” Shane says. It’s not that he expected Rozanov to stay but if he wanted to, then as far as excuses go, weather sounds like a weak one.

“There is a snow storm, Hollander,” Rozanov says. He spreads his hands wide. “I do not control the weather.”

5. i pray for your kindness by Anonymous E, 4k

That night if Shane hadn't gotten injured on the ice

6. The Game Plan by jestbee E, 3.5k

The time between "I'm coming to the cottage" and Ilya actually coming to the cottage.

7. tradition by inkbug E, 1.1k

“do you want to know how it feels? holding the cup.”

“have you eaten out of it yet?”

8. adjacent to; or alongside of by cchapsticck & Kostas E, 9.1k

What the fuck are you doing here? Are you insane? Yes, that's you. Insane. Out of your fucking mind. Nothing makes sense. This doesn't make sense, why are you even here. Makes sense, though, for an insane man.

9. where the waves meet the shore by toxica939 E, 2.8k

nightmares aren't real, but waking up is still a process

10. money’s got a magic touch by au_sein_et_sans E, 50.2k (WIP)

Ilya Rozanov, internationally-renowned singles tennis star, propositions Shane Hollander, sports medicine consultant for the Montreal Voyageurs and local nobody, in a nightclub surrounded by people. What's the worst that could happen? It's not as if Shane is going to say yes... is she?
