Tips that keep the chat going

Send five at once

A batch of five pairs is faster and gives you more to compare.

Pick the surprise

If someone picks "village" over "city", ask why. That one follow-up beats ten more questions.

Answer too

Share your own picks so it feels like a game, not a survey.
