Partial Spoiler:

Question: Was the "Frozen" Queenanswer straight up the wrong answer ?

Can they do answers that are wrong, but can work by association to the right answer?
She became the queen in Frozen 2

And that's be great if it said Frozen 2 Queen, or maybe even Frozen Queen etc. But "Frozen" only means frozen to the exclusion of all else.

Sorry, not buying it. She wasn't "Frozen" Queen.

And hence they changed the hint. It was wrong.

I'm actually happy that I had no clue the answer was wrong. I solved it without knowing the answer to that clue. All I know is that @jj1000 should let it go

Oh I got the hint. The reason why it's in quotes is because of the dual meaning - she was in Frozen and she was also frozen by Elsa. Clever clue

Yup, but not a Queen in Frozen.

And not a Queen when frozen.

Clue was wrong, happy to see they changed it.

No, quotes mean it's a title of a movie, and this title was Frozen not Frozen 2, they are different movies.

New game now, but they made it something like Elsa's Sister in Frozen. Refresh the page maybe.
