Ooof.  Opened the game in a private browser, to experiment with what kinds of connections it would draw now that I knew what it was.  For "bacon" it told me Farm product, and for "skyscraper" it told me Hollow interior.  That's kind of rough, because while straw is a farm product, and a drinking straw has a hollow interior, those are two different senses, which--if I didn't know the answer and was now trying to think of a farm product with a hollow interior--would very much throw me off.

(Hey, did you know a camel provides insulation and a horse is highly flammable?  Thank heavens it's erring on the side of a property the target has and not a property the guess has.  Though for "television" it offered accumulates dust which is kind of a terrible clue, since that's true for roughly any physical object.  Also, do not trust this LLM with your horse.)

Haha, I really appreciate your analysis here. Your feedback is valuable. I'm not saying the LLM provides perfect, or even great, clues. Let me just address a few of your points though:

* Should "Often polished" be read as "frequently polished"? English is not my first language, so I'm not sure. But my interpretation of the clue was definitely more like "Usually polished". It might also be because I knew the words. I'll look into maybe clarifying clues like these. Many times, believe it or not, it's actually a matter of instructing the LLM properly. The clues have improved sooo much since I first started this.

* Amethyst was a bad word because it's just one of thousands of jewelry items/minerals. Lesson learned. More distinct nouns like "Jetpack" work a lot better.

* Straw has several meanings (both have hollow interior by the way), and I'm aware of these cases. It's kind of by design that I've left it in too. Maybe it makes it too tricky? I'm not sure yet.

* Accumulates dust is a terrible clue, yeah. A generic one. Straw doesn't have much in common with television. Generic/vague clues = you're not very close.

* Camel providing insulation and horse being highly flammable, yeah, that's funny. And I would have hoped for better clues there. Not untrue though. People have definitely stayed warm in camel wool/fur before, and I'd definitely trust an LLM that tells me my horse is highly flammable and not let it near fire :)

I'm taking all your feedback into account. However, the game might not be for you, and I respect that.
