Red Herring

I completely agree with Whoever59! For a long time, Red Herring was among my favorite games. Visually appealing and straightforward, the brilliant simplicity and overall concept behind this unique word sorting puzzle challenged my inner wordsmith and encouraged left-brain thinking and creativity. Having completed its generous offering of free (and ad-less) puzzle packs, I continue to play the (also free) Red Herring "Daily Challenge". In recent months, however, I am finding this game to be increasingly frustrating as more and more puzzles involve absurdly esoteric categories and far-fetched and forced connections between words. (As a side note... Due to the nature and structure of this game, I assume it cannot be computer generated; so I wonder if its creators have simply run out of ideas for categories, which would explain the decline in quality. Just a thought...)
