Games like this already exist and have comparable complexity, so calling it infinite and using an LLM backend feels overhyped. For example, Castle + Fortress = Castle? City + Town = Castle. Castle + Wall = City? Metropolis + City = Megalopolis. Ok we're getting somewhere cool here, let's see how big it gets: Megalopolis + City = Metropolis?! Finally, it just failed to combine War + Tunnel. It blinks for a minute and…

I've found retrying after a bit will often return the new result. I suspect the frontend is timing out before the backend comes up with a result, which is eventually cached by the time of the second attempt

What is your non-disappointing idea for, idk, Tears + Pottery (AI: Bowl) or Money + Salt Lick (AI: Cow) or Skull + Lake (AI: Loch Ness) or Dracula + Pirate (AI: Vampirate) or Curse + Money (AI: Debt)? Now do th…

Loch Ness? I skipped to the Loch Ness Monster. Got the Lake only later on. And then I got Nessie. This is a Quagmire

Porkosaurus, Soup Nazi, Sphinxie, Sodium Chloride, Abdominable Snowman, Baconator and both Yeti and Godzilla. And Yogazilla which is a "First Discovery".

Ahh, neat application of it. Explains the somewhat dubious combinations I was seeing.

Forest + fire = smoke Mud + water = swamp Swamp + plant = Venus Flytrap Okay, okay. Venus Flytrap + Smoke = smoke detector

My favorite was Lotus Flower + Mud = Buddha

I don't even know how I managed to do this, but I got this:

Monkey > Ape > Gorilla > King Kong > Queen Kong

Yeah, Queen Kong. Queen. Kong.
