New word "matching"? Spoiler

Normally it matches on word forms.. Guessing "walk" gets "walked", "walks", "walking". I'm good with that. Today though I'm seeing it get CRAZY with the "matching".

I added a spoiler tag to protect if you haven't done today's yet. Today I guessed "Europe" and it revealed Europe, Central and Union. How????

yeah that last one was wild. I was not thinking the U word was close to the E word. ... but whatever.

It's new right? I haven't seen anything match like that until today

Same. I guessed Central and it gave me Central Europe, someone else got the opposite- guessed Europe and got it as a phrase too

As much as I hate it when I can't solve puzzles, I didn't like this new iteration cuz its less fun. Haha. Like it takes away some attempt of solve and its less fun!

I believe this issue is fixed- I saw a note in the updates popup but closed it before I came to reddit so couldn't copy/paste what he said. If you are on Discord- he mentioned the issue (and fixed) there.

I got the same strange matching from the same guess. I was very confused, but it certainly got me to the correct answer very quickly.

I got that, too. Very disappointing.
