  what's wrong with that? the use of novel puzzles is frankly awesome because there's a much lower chance of contamination from previous puzzles so we get a chance to see how much generalization they've achieved.

    I'm complaining about the title writing a check that the blog post can't cash.

      GPT-4 says: A more accurate and balanced title might be: "Comparing Bard and ChatGPT in Puzzle Solving: An Examination within the Context of a Word Game"

        Sounds like GPT-4 will save us from clickbait

      Fair! But if I wrote Twofer Goofer in the title it would not resonate at at all. Alas, tradeoffs.

  Having read through the word game, I agree with others that it's good that the game is less likely to be in the corpus. I think rhyming, while a challenging task, may be a poor benchmark for ability. The author doesn't seem to understand rhyming too well (cactus practice is a weak rhyme at best) I completely disagree with the "hasty rhyming test" - Skeleton and Gelatin don't rhyme (-ton vs -tin), and rhyme worse than protein and poutine (-een vs --een).

    > The author doesn't seem to understand rhyming too well (cactus practice is a weak rhyme at best) cactus / practice ? they rhyme to my mind skeleton / gelatin ? also rhyme to my ears protein / poutine also rhyme enough to be considered to rhyme You appear to be operating under the impression that the every syllable of a rhyming couplet has to rhyme exactly for it to be considered a rhyme. This is an incorrect assumption. In fact, the above rhymes are arguably more pleasing because they are inexact rhymes rather than being exact forced rhymes. In your world the only actual rhymes would be bold / cold / gold and double / trouble / bubble types of rhymes but the world considers the following to be perfectly acceptable sent to meet her / centimetre and so on

      What most people consider a rhyme is that the vowel and coda of the last syllable match (of course we don't mostly reach for the technical definition). I guess the examples there might be accent dependent. Protein/poutine is the only one of those first examples that really rhymes to me; skeleton/gelatin and cactus/practice both have different vowels. Maybe different for you though.

        > What most people consider a rhyme is that the vowel and coda of the last syllable match ??? Oh yeah, says who? protein / poutine p[]oh teen / poo teen => both start with a p, then there's an oh or oo (which are similar) and both end the same way – disyllabic rhyme cactus / practice ? []ah ck təss / []ah ck tiss => ignoring the first consonant (cluster) which anchors the rhyme and pronouncing the u as a schwa (which it is), the ck's are the same and təss and tiss are totes similar – disyllabic rhyme skeleton / gelatin ? trisyllabic goodness – again, the way we pronounce the on in first word is not like the on in frond but like the ən in motion (UHn) and the way we pronounce the at in the second word is not like the at in bat or cat but like the ət in … hmm, none spring to mind but it's an UHt sound here if you listen to it – sgɛ́lɪtən or ˈskelɪtən – ˈʤelətɪn – so you've k vying with g (both hard), e with e, l with l, ɪ with ə (close sounding!), t with t, ə with ɪ (close sounding!), n with n === listen with your ears, not with your eyes
