A conundrum, but this time, it's you who is making it hard. When something should be easy, yet your own brain turns it into an unnecessary struggle. This term is coined by Rizictionary (2025), a collection of words invented for the modern mind’s daily struggles.

This word could be used in sentences like the following:
“I spent five minutes trying to plug in my charger before realizing I had the wrong cable. Classic penundrum.”
“Tried to open a push door by pulling it for way too long. My brain just blue-screened. Total penundrum.”
“Spent an hour looking for my glasses… while wearing them. This penundrum nearly took me out.”

abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
