Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
The player following the guesser is currently asked to "Exclude identical and incorrect clues". On multiple occasions I've seen new players interpret this as "Exclude clues which you think the guesser might not understand". This is an anonymised snippet from the chat discussion about this particular game.
Cluer: why is mine (genitals) excluded tho ? does it violate any rules ?
Excluder: i csn choose to exclude it
Cluer: oh ok
Me: It shouldn't have been excluded
Excluder: if i feel it might it confuses the player
Cluer: fair
Excluder: he stil guessed corrdctyly
Me: Not so
Excluder: its ok its in rules
Me: You're given the ability to strike clues because the automatic detection only looks for identical words and wouldn't strike e.g. prince and princess. You're not given the ability so that you can decide which clues will be helpful.
Cluer: exclude identical and incorrect clues <=
Cluer: incorrect is subjective in a sense I think, no problem
It seems that it would be helpful to have a word which isn't subjectively interpreted as "unhelpful". Perhaps "forbidden" or "illegal".
I'm really merging two requests into one here, but similarly the word "identical" doesn't really fit with the intended meaning ("from the same word family"). "Duplicate" isn't perfect, but in my opinion it's better.• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened

Report history
I've played in games where the "Clue Approver" has said they couldn't understand why that clue word was given,
so they rejected the word.
This is because the words on the Just One screen say to "Exclude ... INCORRECT clues"
Later we had to explain to the "Clue Approver" how that word they rejected was APPLICABLE to the word they had to guess.
Just because the "Clue Approver" thinks a word is NOT-APPLICABLE or UNHELPFUL, does not mean that the word is INCORRECT.
