Overloaded. Wish it had that disclaimer on the landing page.

Cool when it works! I wish the taboo words were a little trickier (guessing Jasmine in the Disney Princesses pack allowed me to use the word Aladdin). 877.54! Would be a cool addition to show a scale that this is out of, or where it falls in the distribution of other people who have played that pack.

From some subsequent plays

- there's no "Play Again" option

- My word was "yachtmanship" and the string "The word you are looking for is "yachtmannship". A yachtman is someone who sails or owns a large pleasure boat, so yachtmannship refers to the art or practice of pleasurable sailing in a large boat." was a little rough to not match. I also got it to say "YachtmanShip", so it's case sensitive.

Why are they calling it Taboo? It seems like Twenty Questions.

The difference is that the person who knows the answer (you!) is also writing the prompts. The game is to get the chatbot to say the target word without using the most obviously helpful phrases.

Am I not understanding the game? Taboo: JavaScript

Q: Does it run in a web browser?

A: No, it is not a web browser. The software is not designed to run within a web browser.

I also asked if it compiles to js? Which is sort of cheating. It answered No. Fair enough.
