It's interesting. There has been lots of ways to explore Word2Vec, but maybe this helps people get an intuitive understanding of the strengths and weaknesses better. (hint, the farther the words are from the target, the more meaningless the distance comparison becomes).

#22I'm failing to understand game 4: Player 0 it is your turn! The word you are trying to match in meaning is: antepenultimate Your char list is: ['i', 'g', 'j', 'u', 'b'] Please input a valid word made from some or all of the provided characters What's the right answer?
Importantly: there was no "right answer" in mind when it created the question. The letters were random, as was the word. It calculates the distance in vector space from your word to the given word. I think it helps if you understand what Word2Vec is, as then it becomes clear what is going on.
so you didn't have a word near penultimate and then pick some letters from it? It's really just open-ended what the users should choose? That does make it a lot harder...
