Thanks for playing! The customers give you hints about the ingredients they are missing but they can be pretty vague. We were hoping maybe pacing the buying of recipes might help players identify what hint was associated with what food, but I know that was still really tricky for most players. Also, with the 3 counter spots, if you aren't sure, you still get 3 guesses because you can leave food on each spot. That part wasn't super clear to players either. We definitely have more to learn when it comes to introducing mechanics during gameplay, but I'm so glad you were still able to enjoy it! Thanks again for your feedback! ^-^
