Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?

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 thought I was done when I guessed oven, but there was no clear feedback saying I won. Went to the comments for the actual answer.

So my feedback: fun game! If possible, perhaps add something like "very close" if you guess something that's almost the answer but not quite. Or oven could have just been wrong, since that wasn't the actual answer.

It said that it wasn't bigger than a housecat. That threw me off.

Y'all gotta put spoiler tags on your shit

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.

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

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

20 hours until I can play again?! C'mon...

I came as far as asking: is it an oven 👍 Then: is it a stove 👎 Then wtf is it???

I never in my life have considered a microwave to be an oven, but obviously it is. I've never had one, so I have limited experience with it.

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 🤣

i made the mistake of checking the comments before playing so...

Oooh this is a cool concept, thanks for sharing! I'll add it to my rotation of stuff to play on my conmute.

I threw some weird questions here and there to see if it had issues, it didn't know how to answer either of these:

-Does its name start with a vowel?
-Does its name have less than ten letters?

Although that might have been due to my clumsy wording.

Apparently microwaves aren't made of metal >:(

I got it in 19, but only because I asked if it was smaller than a house cat and I thought raccoons were larger.

This is interesting. I'd like to see more words.

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

Can I wear it? 👎 Is it a microwave? 👍

This is too easy

I asked "is it famous?" 👍

I asked "is it in North America?" 👎

It was an oven lol.

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 said yes when I asked if the answer was a carnivore, but the answer was an omnivore.

I had no idea a ______ could be considered food…..

What.

Nice. I got 17 and I would debate the size of that versus a bread box. Still got pretty much everything else right

Those don't live in Europe or Africa? Huh.

The AI seemed to struggle with scientific names for #19.

The question

was answered as no, though the correct answer should have been yes.

How does this work? You can't possibly have all these questions hard coded. Is it asking something like ChatGPT "does an X eat meat?"

I asked if the word was a noun, and it gave me a "don't know". I asked if the word was an adjective, and also got a "don't know", so I gave up.

"is it a proper noun": 🤷‍♂️

"are there multiple of this": 👎

Why we have to wait 24 hours for new word?

Interesting concept! Just fyi / for checking, It lied to me :(

Is it a noun? 🤷‍♂️ Is it a proper noun? 🤷‍♂️ Is it sometimes alive? 👍 Is it an animal / human? 👎 Is it a tree? 👎 Is it a vegetable 👎 Is it a plant 👎 Is it an insect 👎 Is it a human 👎 Is it bacteria 👎 Is it definitely alive? 👍 It's alive but it's not an animal, human, tree, plant, vegetable, insect or bacteria? 👎 It is one of: an animal, human, tree, plant, vegetable, insect or human? 👍 You have lied to me above? 👎 Did I ask you whether it was an animal, human, tree, plant, vegetable, insect or human - and you sa 👎 Are you lying? 👎 So you lied earlier? 👎 Is it one of: an animal, human, tree, plant, vegetable, insect or human? 👍 Is it one of: a tree, plant, vegetable? 👎 Is it one of: an animal, human, insect? 👍 Is it an animal? 👍 Is it a cat? 👎

It said you couldn't throw it, so that threw me off. Pun intended.

I dunno how difficult to implement this might be, but it ought to be cognizant of Linnaean taxonomy. I just had one where the word was seahorse, but the bot claimed it was not a ray-finned fish.

The word for me was seahorse, but when I asked it if it had scales the game answered yes. Seahorses do not have scales.

Managed it in 5 somehow. Very cool.

Some responses seemed iffy but I'd play again.

it really said a microwave should be used to cook fish, i cant believe this

I asked if it had stripes mid way through and it said no….its wrong. Lame.

It would be cool if you could replay previous days

Got it pretty fast!

Eyy got it in 7

Is it an object? 👍 is it something found in a house? 👍 is it an appliance? 👍 Is it a kitchen appliance? 👍 is it a toaster? 👎 Does it heat food? 👍 is it a microwave?

But sexist stereotypes did exist before the internet (at a much higher rate than today). Using the logic of the past doesn't mean it's being sexist of today.

Edit. Responded to the main post instead of a comment. Whoops

That was fun. Will it be one new word per day? It makes you think of solid questions to ask!

!I asked if it was primarily used by women (no), and that helped when I figured out it was a household item that could cook food haha. Grill was guess 19, and there are lots of things that can cook food, but most are primarily used by women so that leaves one option. Woo! Just barely got it :D!<

"Something went wrong" when I asked "Can I wear it". Almost couldn't continue until it finally went through. Would be good if you could change the question again if there's an error

Pretty cool game, didn't manage to find the answer in 20 questions though

Apparently a microwave is bigger than a dog!

I asked >Is it finned? And got no for an answer.

Word was a seahorse. I narrowed it down to saltwater fish and asked if it had teeth and it replied thumbs up. Seahorse doesn't have teeth, son

It would be great if you could open source it

Think it's broken, I asked it

"is it under 6 letters" "is it less than 6 letters"

And it shrugged both times

It is interesting, but with weird quirks.

It is definitely capable of responding with 🤷‍♂️, but neglects to do so in some expected areas.

"does it use a microprocessor?" 👍 "was it invented before 1970?" 👍

These are somewhat contradictory. No microwave in 1946-1971 could have had a microprocessor. If the answer is "sometimes yes, sometimes no" then 🤷‍♂️ is probably best.
