I was given these letters to unscramble in a round of Item Scramble:

nboSolw

I guessed that the item was the minion [item2=Snowbol] which has the correct letters and starts with a capital S.

The correct item was the minion [item2=Snoblow] which also has the correct letters and starts with a capital S.

Sets of letters which have two correct answers should be excluded from the game.

Is there anyway to exclude sets like this or make it to where it will accept either?

I just ran into this today. I don't remember exactly how the letters appeared and I don't think it matters. What matters is that the correct answer was "Black-and-White Bow Party Clutch", which I chose on a whim instead of choosing "White-and-Black Bow Party Clutch". Both answers were technically correct, but would I have gotten it correct if I had gone with the second option?

I don't think I've ever seen it appear in the game, but the same problem could happen with the Kessik and Kissek minions.

Now that you mention that, I think I did come across that one a while ago and just thought my mind was making up the other one.

I just wanted to post and let everyone know this has been reported! They are looking into whether this is fixable!

: Thank you! Here's another one which burned me today. I guessed [item2=Pearl], but the answer was [item2=Perla].

Let me suggest to the programmers: It's a tricky programming problem to pre-emptively avoid choosing items whose names are permutations of other items. It's much easier to fix the problem by checking the guess versus the correct answer, and if the guess is (1) also a valid item and (2) a permutation of the intended item, treat the guess as correct. (In fact, show the guessed item as the "Correct Answer" so that the user never even sees that a different item had originally been chosen.)
