I bombed.  I'm starting to wonder who their target audience is.  I don't think i'm one of them as 2 out of 3 puzzles were for words I've never heard of.

I'm wondering the same. The words that I do recognize (ROCKS, WHOLE) are -- as @liuzhou pointed out regarding WHOLE -- words that can have culinary applications but have plenty of other applications too. Then there are words like today's that are quite obscure in this part of the world. I only found it by guesswork. In the middle there may be words like PLATE or TABLE that to me simply aren't interesting challenges. (And what sort of Phoodle Fact would go with them?) So I'm not sure what the Goldilocks "just right" medium may be, if there is one.
