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.

Spoilers! :) I checked this one and it seems to have corrected itself. You're absolutely correct, though!

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.

Server resets at 00:00 UTC. If you had the page open before that time and tried to ask a question, it refreshes the page so that the server isn't (unbeknownst to you) suddenly answering questions about a different word. We'll try to add something to handle that transition better in the future. Sorry about that!

Is it an animal / human? 👎

I think it didn't handle the "/" here very well. I've made a change to hopefully improve the outcome of that in the future.

LLMs tend to perform poorly with questions about linguistic characteristics of words. We have tuned responses to gently discourage questions like that. We also feel that they're kind of "cheating" at this sort of game. :)

Glad you enjoy it!
