Like the panda group

It’s churlish that you chose to code the compound word animals answer in a way that makes it more likely to be found wrong and even more lame that you excuse yourself by telling others they shouldn’t care. Glad your ego is more important than player fun.

@sanity Disagree with you strongly. How exactly would you propose they do so so that it will not result in false positives or false negatives? I

@sanity wow. Churl? Lame? Ego? I have another word. Projection. Or did the grid mark you wrong and you lost the $1000 puz tournament? Well it cant be that so projection then. Now hush

Bit OTT Sanity? why bother writing in the reason? It's in your head anyway and your performance isn't being viewed by the country.
I have more of a problem with whether the Panda group is so open that the solution could be considered "non-unique".

If I'm honest - I'm not a huge fan of the grid as some the links feel a bit forced (to have 3 medals that feature in pretty much every competition and then the very specific mascot from one specific Olympics is a bizarre grouping imo) - but that comment from Sanity is... well its insane. Whoever you are - I hope you're okay!

Well, let's not be too hard on Sanity. Clearly, someone stole their candy, kicked their puppy, and lied about it on national television. Or something like that. A so-so puzzgrid might've triggered me in that situation, too.

Anyway, all notes taken on the Olympics grouping (funny the way opinions were scattered on that one). I'll work on getting the links tighter. Thanks for the feedback!
