I once tried to solo a special Passwords bomb. I entered the password “NEVER” and pressed Submit.

It worked.

It is one of the accepted words. I feel like it's rare that the letters make a five-letter word that isn't in the list, so as long as you find one that is actually a word, it's probably the correct answer.

That is actually very funny once you watch the thing this module is based on. Scratch that, the whole thing is funny.

HIDDEN PUN WARNING

I just found this! I'll really needyit!

I think I managed to translate egg. All those garbage instructions mean is that you're supposed to press the egg when the last digit of the timer matches the last digit of the serial number.

For reference:

On the Subject of egg
big egg.

egg!
there egg on bomb.
wahoo.
press egg or bomb go kaboom.
but be careful!!!!!!!!!!
egg only on certain time! oh no!
sticker on the bomb. wow. big number!
oooooh clock. it ticking.
clock has big number too! and it changes, wow!
last number of clock is last number of sticker.
then press egg.
there you go. egg defused!
yay!

I don't think so. The bomb already exploded.

Will % Grey ever be knocked off of the top of the repository? Maybe, if someone makes a module called “!”

! sounds like it should be similar to Red Herring or Accelerando.

There's a module called …? which also has just punctuation marks but I guess % Grey has a higher priority.
There's also a module called ❖ (nonverbal Simon) which used to be someplace weird but is now just above all other Simon modules.
I remember when Übermodule first came out, it showed up at the very bottom of the directory, even after Zoo. This was probably because the “Ü” wasn't recognized but now it's treated as if it didn't have an umlaut.

There are also thousands of module ideas in the works and many of them start with punctuation marks. A few examples (if you look at the ideas spreadsheet) include “-”, “.”, “↻↺”, “✥”, and more. (Although it was hard to find those modules because for whatever reason they're alphabetized by author instead of module name now.)
