"Relatedness" here is according to ... something ... Approximately but not exactly the likelyhood that words appear near to one another in a large corpus of text. Probably doing lookups on something crunched by google books.
nice concept, but doesn't work as game yet, due to vast space of creative association between the words which are possible but not detected by app. Example:
banknote is not >20% related to and end word
investor (5%) mark (13%)

I like it a lot, but it’s also frustrating. Perhaps it’s being hugged to death right now but the lookups are very slow, so when I disagree with the results it’s a bit painful. If the results were quicker it would not be so bad, I could try different things. I was a bit miffed that “currency” was not considered to be related to “mark”. Similarly I thought I’d found the perfect word between “ski” and “trust”, “mogul”,…
I thought investor -> currency -> mark would be a slam dunk but apparently "mark" here is not related to the German Mark.
I had to connect investor and mark... I put "grade". It said that it was not related to mark. I stopped at that point.
Cool concept, but seems like its not reliable/intuitive enough unfortunately. Keep at it and I might try again on a future version with a better back-end/tolerance.

I got the same, I put "scammer". Also thought it was unrelated, even though a scammer convinces a mark they're an investor. Tried "cryptocurrency", still unrelated, though a cryptocurrency investor is a mark!
As others are mentioning, it would be nice to know what 'relatedness' means here, because a lot of words that seem like they'd be closely related are not, as calculated by the game

I saw "mark" and immediately though "scam" (which I figured would be easy to get to from "investor," but it told me that "scam" and "mark" share only 2% similarity. I can't even go from "investor" to "money" (16%). I'm not sure how "Zuckerberg" is closer to "investor" than "money" is.
