Yes, I'm curious what heuristics it used there.

Playing the confirmation bias game on "playthroughs of the confirmation bias game": it looks like you get that message if you have a 'no' answer, and the word 'increasing' in your guess. ("Increasing by the same amount" is still accepted.) I wouldn't be surprised if other words also count.

Edit: the words '<', '>', 'increas', 'big' and 'larger' seem to count. Looks like they're accepted as substrings, not just words - so 'increase' and 'increasing' are accepted. I could look for a long time, so I'm giving up now.
