Maybe I'm just not intelligent, but I gave it a couple of minutes and couldn't figure out WTF the game wants from you or how to win it.

It's not about intelligence, Stevvo. Proof, how long did this specific one take me, under a minute to solve the first level ;)
If you've played Wordle you might've solved the game in a minute once before as well. And if you've played a bunch then you've perhaps also taken the entire day to solve it.
So why is it that today’s puzzle was so intuitive but next month’s new puzzle shared here could be impossible. A more satisfying explanation than luck and the obvious “different things are different” (even though… Yeah different things are different)
It's not an IQ test. Just a way to assess your ability to generalize rules. If you've played previous rounds you kinda get used to the "style" of these games and it gets easier
That's exactly what "an IQ test" is.
"Raven's progressive matrices" is "infer and generalize rules". Performance there also improves once "you kinda get used to the style", which is why training for IQ tests can improve human performance on IQ tests, including on unseen examples. This is well known and well documented.
Exactly my experience. It has nothing to do wirh some AGI testing. It is just some kind of useless weird game.
Once you figure out one game, it goes a long way towards figuring out all the rest. There are a lot of common general themes.
