I did today's, which was clued as transportation/country/kings of leon song.

Transportation was really fun; I thought a long time and got it in 1, and I felt I had a grasp on what one part of the word was gonna be before I worked out the whole word.

I didn't enjoy the country or kings of leon puzzles; it's possible I would have if I'd played it differently.

But I couldn't really bring myself to make guesses I know aren't the answer. I think most of the daily word games have taught me that. So what I did was look up a list of countries and kings of leon songs, which is basically just looking up the answer.

I'll play again tomorrow to see how I feel once I play it differently, it seems more fun if I'm willing to guess CCAACAAC or whatever when I know it's something I'm never going to figure out in 1.

Played it again. Got the transportation category again in 1 after another long and satisfying think. So that was really fun once again.

I tried gathering info on the beatles song, I'm never gonna figure it out except either by looking up a list or playing a mastermind information deduction game. It just felt like I was gonna have to go through most of the alphabet with BAB BABA, CEC CECE, DID DIDI etc type guesses until I know most or all of the letters to unscramble. Instead I called it quits on this one.

I'd work on the feedback giving more immediately actionable info, and perhaps work on narrowing the categories to things basically everyone knows.
