Hello, I'm author of https://enlinko.com/ game, published it 24 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35630451 Domain for this game has been created 9 days ago. So, i think someone was heavily inspired by my idea. I understand that anyone can make game with same idea, but i'm bit sad that Enlinko haven't got such traction on HN as this game.

Great idea for a game!

A question I ran into while playing your game is why it says "Amazon" and "Prime" are only 3% related? That seems very surprising.

I put waves for radio and ocean and got 19% and 55%. Is my expectation that the first percentage should be higher off?

interesting, I did that just now (with out having seen your comment) and got 13% and 33% (for future reference this comment is being made about an hour after parent)

Edit: oh wait I nevermind wave/waves

I'm using those vectors, which latest version is from 2019:

https://github.com/commonsense/conceptnet-numberbatch

I guess data used for making those vectors doesn't contain many occurrences of those two words in relation.

Anyway, that's downside of word vectors idea. There always will be some words which we human will consider more or less related than word vectors.

I've tried finding best one. It's different what Semantle uses (word2vec from Google) and different what Contexto uses (Glove). But still there are probably many word pairs which could match better.

Did you really? I just did it just now (9 minutes after your comment) and got 19% and 55%.

My word had a higher sum of percentages than the word listed as the "the best solution for this puzzle so far". I chose (SPOILER): radio ->(23%) sonar ->(30%) ocean, vs radio ->(29%) air ->(20%) ocean, so 53% vs 49%. Is the first connection more important than the subsequent ones?

What about using the those three models and returning the best score between them?

Enlinko is a dead end because it only allows 1 5-second game per day.

Also I don't see source code.

Hey! I'm trying to come up with a similar daily puzzle game, did anything help you come up with the idea? Also, do you generate these unrelated words daily and then vet them before releasing the daily puzzle, or is it all pretty much automated?
