I was in MOVIES when this one came up. The person drawing was doing a really good job at it and I guessed it quite fast, since it's such a recent movie, but iSketch didn't think I was right. I tried several times, the person drawing was just as puzzled as I was, but iSketch said "NO". We were just 2 people in the room at the time, so I guessed it was an isolated incident. Some kind of bug.
The day after, I was back in MOVIES when the dumb thing came up again. This time there were about 8 people in the room and the same thing happened. 3 people guessed it right but iSketch didn't think so.
Maybe this movie should be removed or fixed?
A similar thing happened in BIG PICTURE. the words were TOLL BOOTH. I guessed BOOTH first and I got a message saying "you got one of the words: BOOT". Seeing that, I continued trying and was shocked when I saw what the words really were. This one I haven't encountered again.
Needless to say, this is very frustrating...lol

I too have noticed some bugs like this before. They seem to be more common in special rooms. I don't know if it has to do with the way in which the answer is phrased - slight differences in punctuation or spelling perhaps, but yeah it is annoying.

To remove individual words would be a pain. It's better to see if they happen to particular words - via testing.
If it happens randomly, then a bug fix will be needed as something is corrupted within the set up of the lists.

Could be a space in the word that you don't realize is there.
On a side note, I tried reading that book and found it way boring. Anyone else think it was over-rated too?

I actually really enjoyed the book. :) But then again I really like these kinds of things. But I didn't get so upset over it. It was a good read, but I don't think I got so involved. :)

Threadjack! ...lol
Yes, it happened to this one specific word (words?), and no, no spaces or punctuation were missing. Every person in the room was puzzled about it, but it seems that, out of the group who witnessed the incident, I'm the only one who posts here.
It's a simple phrase ( the time traveler's wife ) with no special punctuation (periods, hyphens, colons, etc). How can you go wrong? The person drawing saw that more than one person had typed it correctly and couldn't figure out why the thing wasn't registering. Neither could those guessing it. Like I said before, I've seen it happen twice. Same movie. Oh, and it was not a custom room. Regular MOVIES room.

Hm yeah I think it might be special puctuation. it almost always happens with words with apostrophes in, there's loads of these in fictional characters.. it's not the usual apostrophe on the keyboard.. its one you need to do an alt code or something..I did find it once but lost it :( and yeah it happens in quite a few rooms. althought there are some which dont work even when typed fully and dont have any punctuation too though. :( idk.

On another note - some phrases in the palindromes room aren't actually palindromes. iSk has a lot to answer for.. ;)

Well while we're at it, a lot of the homophones words aren't homophones and a lot of the rhymes aren't rhymes (last I was there anyway, which was ages ago).
