How the Game Works
1Daily Puzzle Generation
Every day, our AI creates a new puzzle with a hidden theme. It generates 5 words related to that theme, then uses those exact words to create an image with DALL-E.
2The Word Pool
You'll see 30 words total:
5 themed words - These are the ones you need to find
25 random words - These are decoys to make it challenging
3Making Guesses
Click on words you think match the theme. Correct guesses turn green, incorrect ones turn red. The AI has already played and made its guesses - can you do better?
Understanding Your AI Opponent
How ChatGPT Plays
The AI analyzes the image and tries to identify the themed words using:
Visual pattern recognition - Identifies objects, colors, and scenes
Logical word associations - Connects visual elements to vocabulary
Context analysis - Looks for thematic connections

Consistent logical reasoning

Winning Strategies
Visual Analysis
Look for the most obvious elements first. If you see a cat, "cat" or "animal" might be themed words.
Think Thematically
Consider what connects the elements. A beach scene might have themes like "vacation," "summer," or "relaxation."
Consider Abstracts
Themes can be emotions, concepts, or ideas. An image of people laughing might include "happiness" or "joy."
Start Broad
Begin with general categories, then get specific. Try "food" before "sandwich," "animal" before "dog."
