Yeah, they like to do things like include a word in the 5-category that also fits with the 2, misleading you into thinking you've identified the 3. Really the only reliable way to avoid both type I and type II errors is to work the whole thing out in your head before submitting a single guess, but that's annoying. Solving 5 first is pretty good too; they can still trick you, but it's at least difficult to design a puzzle that contains both a true and a false 5. Except by including a 6, but that's at least something you have a shot at detecting before you click.

Am giving up stacked goat. It’s too much like connections for me to ever like it. Given how much connections annoys me.

And they must be reading my posts because today's had 2 perfectly valid, non-overlapping fives in it.

Again again today! Please disregard my remarks (this is, of course, good advice in general :blackeye: ).

The Stacked Clevergoat game would be twice as fun if they gave a couple of extra tries. In most cases, 4 lives is not enough.

Yes, I know you can keep playing, but you feel like you technically failed if you used up all the lives, even after you got all the words.
