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!

I asked the same question (does it start with a vowel) and agree that it shouldn't answer even if it could but I have a suggestion: use a different emoji than the "I don't know" one to mean "that's kinda cheating"

Hehehehehehe that is true, I'll play fair instead of trying to see what it lets me get away with. Well, most days at least.

Haven't tried using llm for this kind of stuff so it's very interesting to see where its limits lie

There's a cool one called chronogram that has an AI pretending to be an historical figure. You basically have a conversation to figure out who they are. It's pretty cool, but now it requires you to sign up or use a Google account, which is a bummer

Aaagh I saw, what a shame. Sounds like a cool concept, but I can't be arsed to sign up with my Google or Discord accounts for a daily thing even if it gave a free budgie
