    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.

    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.

    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’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 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.

    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 🤣

    Does its prevalence cause existential dread due to consumerism in the western hemisphere? 👎 Does it make chicken rubbery? 👍

    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

      It might be because they are part of the Order ‘carnivora’, so in that sense they are carnivores even though they are omnivorous.

      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?

        Wow I didn’t realize it wasn’t over yet, thanks for the heads up. I’m still a little salty about some of the answers though :)
