(That name is the "white-head" bird in the talk of the people who live in a hill country by the sea.)
"Uh oh! You have used non-permitted words (penguin, bird, hill, country, sea)."
This passes:
"That name is the "white-head" flying animal in the talk of the people who live in a high-place land by the big water." [Welsh!]
It immediately makes me wonder: what would be the smallest set of words needed to be able to explain everything. For digits in math it's {0,1} but that probably won't fly with natural language and people 😬
Oh-ho, I see it's another tool from that maker of many handy things @theo.io ! Erm Theo, has EGU just broken your site?
