Frog or Toad?

Taxonomically there is no rule about the differences between toad/frog. Generally “frogs” are considered to be more aquatic than toads, but I’m pretty sure the naming is not entirely consistent amongst species. Funny game, it definitely throws some hard ones at you.

This is somehow fantastically entertaining. Well done.

A cheatsheet? https://aqua.org/stories/2023-09-27-mistaken-identities-frog...

Seems to offer very little help with the game

I suppose I had never really thought about the difference between a frog and a toad, and after playing this game, it is clear that I have absolutely no idea what it might be.

I think the unfairness is the USP!

I love how the first two make you over-confident and then wham, you're lucky to get much above 50%.
