What words were you surprised were accepted or not accepted? Let's make a record of the inconsistencies
​
After tonight's "Hot air balloon" puzzle I'd like to start a record of words you have guessed that you think they should have accepted and/or words you've been surprised they accepted. Three different examples with wildly different standards I've noticed are:
Not accepting "Bridesmaid" for "Bridesmaids" but accepting "Maid of honor". This one in my opinion is wild because they accepted another term entirely that is singular but not the actual word in singular form?
Accepting "Monster Truck" when the word was "Monster Trucks" which would make sense except for the fact they sometimes accept both singular and plural forms and sometimes not. It doesn't seem too hard to allow one or the other without flip flopping.
Accepting "Balloon" for "hot air balloon" especially when one of the clues specifies its something you ride inside of. By these standards, people who answered "the big bang" should have gotten it correct for "the big bang theory."
Alright people, please add onto this list. Maybe if enough people do and express their frustration we can get the writers to pick a lane and stay in it. Otherwise, I suspect this is one factor as to why the number of players is dwindling everyday. People can only put up with so much disappointment before they check out.
