Because I've never seen either the word game or coding exercise based on it ever come up here in the UK, regardless of the context. It's never been asked in any interviews, I never did anything like this in school, and if you asked me to do it, I'd have to look up what the name means first or what it actually requires.
It also makes me wonder how many of these coding exercises and leetcode tasks are based on things specific to certain countries and cultures, and whether the ones asked of people vary based on the region.
