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.

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
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
I thought I was done when I guessed oven, but there was no clear feedback saying I won. Went to the comments for the actual answer.
So my feedback: fun game! If possible, perhaps add something like "very close" if you guess something that's almost the answer but not quite. Or oven could have just been wrong, since that wasn't the actual answer.
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.
Y'all gotta put spoiler tags on your shit
I'm hesitant to say that the current word is a bad choice, but it feels far too specific to me. I'm curious what questions one could ask after finding out that it's a type of f___ that would lead to the exact type of f___ that it is.
Again, I'm hesitant to criticize the decision, because it's entirely possible that I'm just dumb and gave up too soon
I'd rate this one "black diamond" level for sure.

Agreed. I narrowed it down to a small species of ocean fish that was featured in Finding Nemo, but couldn't figure out how to pin down a specific species.
I feel the same way to be honest, with the current question I did it all the way through and I was at odds end of what I could ask it aside from just straight out asking if it's a specific type, third question in was the exact one that you spoilered out and yet I wasn't even able to get a general ballpark of what it was in the next 17 questions.
Lmao I got the answer 11 questions in, but because I called it a "microwave oven" instead of just a microwave, it didn't count as correct until I asked "is it a microwave?" for my last question
We've implemented a fix to make it more lenient. Sometimes the synonyms and spellings catch us off guard ("raccoon" vs "racoon"), but we should have known about this one! Sorry about that.
I had fun anyway, and ain't playing competitively. Long as I know I got it right, I'm happy!
20 hours until I can play again?! C'mon...
I like the concept but some of the answers can be really misleading.
Can be carried, is found in classrooms, not made of plastic, and inexpensive. None of that points towards a microwave for me. Microwaves CAN be carried I guess, but who has microwaves in classrooms? My microwave has plastic cowling on the front, and microwaves are like 70-100 bucks the last time I checked. Some of that is on me for the phrasing (does it contain plastic I guess should have been used, as an example) but it's a bit odd.
I agree, but I definitely had microwaves in my classrooms (small school, we would eat in classrooms).
Apparently microwaves aren't made of metal >:(
Microwaves also don't contain motors 😂
I got a no for can you hold it so I was sure it was a normal oven. You can definitely hold a microwave they're not that big 🤣
I got a yes for can you carry it...
I came as far as asking: is it an oven 👍 Then: is it a stove 👎 Then wtf is it???
I never in my life have considered a microwave to be an oven, but obviously it is. I've never had one, so I have limited experience with it.
You do know microwave is short for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven](Microwave Oven?)
Does its prevalence cause existential dread due to consumerism in the western hemisphere? 👎 Does it make chicken rubbery? 👍
I got it in 19, but only because I asked if it was smaller than a house cat and I thought raccoons were larger.
This is interesting. I'd like to see more words.
I asked "is it famous?" 👍
I asked "is it in North America?" 👎
It was an oven lol.
Actually the lastest one isn't an oven as the final answer. My wife asked that and was like, "so why isn't it over??"
This was my exact experience and I couldn't figure out how to make it end. Was I supposed to guess which brand? Or was it something picky like a microwave oven?
Nice. I got 17 and I would debate the size of that versus a bread box. Still got pretty much everything else right
I had no idea a ______ could be considered food…..
What.
I asked if it was edible and got a no.
The AI seemed to struggle with scientific names for #19.
The question
spoiler
"Is it in the Actinopterygii class?"
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
Those don't live in Europe or Africa? Huh.
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.
I dunno how difficult to implement this might be, but it ought to be cognizant of Linnaean taxonomy. I just had one where the word was seahorse, but the bot claimed it was not a ray-finned fish.
I asked if the word was a noun, and it gave me a "don't know". I asked if the word was an adjective, and also got a "don't know", so I gave up.
Asking about linguistic characteristics of the word is cheating in twenty questions! :) There's a note about this at the end of the "How To" that's linked on the front page.
The word for me was seahorse, but when I asked it if it had scales the game answered yes. Seahorses do not have scales.
It said you couldn't throw it, so that threw me off. Pun intended.
