In that case I wonder what they mean by
Categories will always be more specific than “5-LETTER-WORDS,” “NAMES” or “VERBS.”
Given that they actively do a thing where they assign one word to several categories, only one of which is in the puzzle, and the others are red herring categories that do not have four entries, they probably should realize that the most obvious category for these three words is “meta-information about the words” and been a lot more clear with their meaning.
Same issue as you! I wonder if this is mainstream knowledge I should be expected to have, but like most tech nerd types celebrities and pop culture are a gap in my knowledge (which, to be honest, I have no interest in correcting), or if this is honestly obscure stuff that manages to masquerade as mainstream knowledge because a big-name celebrity is attached to it. I mean, her high school graduation year is probably on Wikipedia but not something you should reasonably expect anything but her fans, former classmates/teachers, and family to know.

And the tricky part is if, say, you know that “bulldozer, backhoe, crane” are working vehicles, so it is one potential grouping, and you also happen to know that “parakeet, magpie, crane” are birds but you don’t know what “finch” is and looking it up feels like cheating, so you just guess. So you guess “finch” is a vehicle and bam, wrong.

I had no idea that “fluke” was a kind of fish, as well as a chance occurrence. So that caused a similar situation to the above.
Sometimes you can use process of elimination with the other groups, but if you can’t solidly make a group of four (especially if you know you, say, have a potential bird group but you are aware you do not know that many birds; and likewise with a potential working vehicle group) you often end up guessing.
And sometimes I just cannot figure out what category they are going for, even if I could place it given the category name. I am a native English speaker and like to think I am not below average intelligence.

I get frustrated by this too. Figured I’d post a new game but if people don’t like it I can stop. I like it well enough to put up with some words that really should be linked not being linked, and unexpected words linking, but I can see why not everyone would.
3. How does Linxicon determine how similar words are to each other? Behind the scenes, words are entered into a machine learning model that returns a score which indicates how similar words are to each other. If you want to learn more about the model used, click here to the documentation on SentenceTransformers.

I feel the same way about the links.

I completely failed to solve the puzzle at all because I didn’t know of O, Fortune, or Mad Magazine and have never actually watched a Bond movie. I haven’t heard of power pop but knew of the other three types and probably could have gotten that. So you’re not alone, I actually did worse than you, only getting the yellow row.
The fact these platforms all play differently is so annoying. First with linking other magazines/communities, now spoilers apparently. Something that looks nice and works on one platform is unreadable/spoils/nonfunctional on another. For what it is worth, all attempted spoilers in your comment that I am replying to now work for me on Kbin. Except the Reddit-style spoilers, which I believe work nowhere on the Fediverse.
Also, https://startrek.website is a whole instance for Star Trek. Having multiple communities about the same thing is good for redundancy in case one goes down though.
