I made this game with a friend. We’re interested in your feedback!

“is it a proper noun”: 🤷♂️
“are there multiple of this”: 👎
Thanks for finding this issue. Our “cheater buster” was a bit overzealous about the first question, but it’s a legitimate non-cheating question so we’ve made an exception. It should work in the future. The second question was “no” probably because the word itself isn’t in the plural form. The question “is there more than one of them in the world?” is functionally equivalent and works around this quirk.
Does its prevalence cause existential dread due to consumerism in the western hemisphere? 👎 Does it make chicken rubbery? 👍
i made the mistake of checking the comments before playing so…
Yeah I don’t think anyone realized that everyone got the same word. Can’t blame em for babbling about it, but it’s a major bummer because now I’m obviously not going to play.
try it today! quite fun.
20 hours until I can play again?! C’mon…
It said yes when I asked if the answer was a carnivore, but the answer was an omnivore.
That threw me off too, but I had asked if it ate meat. Then later asked if it was an omnivore.
It might be because they are part of the Order ‘carnivora’, so in that sense they are carnivores even though they are omnivorous.
It’s a really cool concept! Not much to improve regarding the UI. One small thing is, I found the thumbs up or down a bit less intuitive than seeing the answer spelled out
Why we have to wait 24 hours for new word?
It’s proprietary so we have no control
It said that it wasn’t bigger than a housecat. That threw me off.
Mine said it was bigger than a cat
You know, I had the same thought of asking if it was bigger than something, and this happened:
⭐ Quizzle 18 1/20
🟩
I was actually a little disappointed I didn’t get to play more!
Lol I asked the same question
Clearly you meant a cat as big as a house.
Word was a seahorse. I narrowed it down to saltwater fish and asked if it had teeth and it replied thumbs up. Seahorse doesn’t have teeth, son
I thought it was broken, because I asked if it was an oven, and it said yes… And then nothing. Just a bit confusing to people who don’t understand AI and fuzzy answers.
Wdym? You’re asking Yes or No questions, the word wasn’t oven, but the word WAS an oven, it was microwave. I think there was just a misunderstanding
I asked if it was an oven, and it said yes,
Nice. I got 17 and I would debate the size of that versus a bread box. Still got pretty much everything else right
I stopped using objects since they can vary just enough to mess with your clues. I asked if it was larger than a cubic foot.
Still could have messed me up cuz some can be smaller though… can’t win either way :P
How does this work? You can’t possibly have all these questions hard coded. Is it asking something like ChatGPT “does an X eat meat?”
Yeah I noticed the past two days already that it answers with an LLM, and that of course gets stuff wrong quite frequently.
But sexist stereotypes did exist before the internet (at a much higher rate than today). Using the logic of the past doesn’t mean it’s being sexist of today.
Edit. Responded to the main post instead of a comment. Whoops
That was fun. Will it be one new word per day? It makes you think of solid questions to ask!
!I asked if it was primarily used by women (no), and that helped when I figured out it was a household item that could cook food haha. Grill was guess 19, and there are lots of things that can cook food, but most are primarily used by women so that leaves one option. Woo! Just barely got it :D!<
Sexist stereotypes for the win!
Another question asked was if it was before the internet (yes), so relying on stereotypes was more reasonable :) I was using cultural expectations pre-1990s
But just because something existed before the Internet doesn’t mean it doesn’t still exist now. You say you’re using pre-90s expectations, but it’s a modern object still - so why would that help at all?

Kind of like if the answer was a job and it was before the internet (so, like pre~1990), it would be reasonable to assume women were not as prominent in a lot of things like they are today.
It (microwave) exists today, but it also was invented when sexist stereotypes were much bigger.
Is it an oven? 👍 Is it a microwave oven? 👍 Is it a countertop microwave oven? 👍 Can it grill food? 👍 Is it a grill microwave oven? - exceeded the question limit, big reveal, answer was “microwave”. Interesting but I wasted a lot of questions trying to determine what kind of microwave it was because “microwave oven” was not accepted.
I asked if it was larger than a microwave on my second question and it gave it to me…
Edit: There was an update to make it more lenient. Too lenient imo.
Even saying “oven” as correct threw me off. Ive never called a microwave an oven or a microwave oven. I was like starting to think maybe it wanted a specific brand of oven, or a synonym like stove
I had already narrowed the size down to a smallish (I forgot what I used for comparison) electronic cooking appliance so a full oven was already out. “Toaster oven” was negative, so I tried microwave oven route instead.
Well actually…
An oven is something you put food in to cook by heating the air inside of it.
A range is the burner portion.
A stove is a combination of the two.
Yes this is pedantic and I agree that they’re often used interchangeably
That’s weird, it accepted “microwave oven” from me just now. My last two questions were:
Is it some kind of oven? 👍
Is it a microwave oven? Yep you got it!
Edit: looks like they implemented a fix for this
