    It was developed by a famous company known for its innovative technology in gaming.

    I feel like they use this exact same clue for every single game, and was the reason I stopped playing this a while back. Sad to see that they're still doing this. It's about as useful as saying "it's a video game". In fact, I'd say it's not even an accurate clue in this case, which is extra frustrating.

    That said:

    Thanks for the feedback, and you're right, the clues could be better. I use AI to generate hints, and it often produces vague clues rather than anything meaningful about the game.

    I've adjusted the prompt that creates the clues several times, but I haven't seen much improvement. Either the AI is too vague or provides too much info.

    Since the game is free and I don't make any money from it, I can't justify spending time manually researching and writing every clue. As it is, I lose money on this game each month just on hosting. I’m going to take another pass at improving the AI-generated hints this weekend, but I am not hopeful.

    Again, thanks for the feedback.

    Thanks for looking into it! I otherwise love the game, but I always get frustrated when that clue comes up lol.

    I made some changes to the clue generation code. I think the clues are better now, but they’re still not perfect.

    The updated clue logic will be used in games starting tonight at 8:00 PM EST. Let me know what you think once you’ve had a chance to try it.
