I suspect like Wordle, or crosswords for that matter, it will take a certain amount of practice to get the hang of it. But! 43 guesses and I feel good about it.

#32I find these to be less-than-ideal puzzles. For example, (no spoilers) today's puzzle answer is an abstract concept X, and two very common examples of X score both higher and lower (83 vs 7) than words that are much further away IMO (29).
It's interesting that it works. (179->150->13->1 for me. [I think it is more interesting to discuss paths instead of x and neighbors. A graph plotting all successful paths so far would be ++interesting to see. I wonder if a certain common final sub-path (like above) occur. And which one is it?]) Can we actually assert a 'natural semantic order'? I've always thought this was a fundamental aspect of our cognition, that…

#33Seems similar to https://semantle.com/ but backed by a different "similarity" calculation. The "bar" visualization is also nicer to track how close/far you are.
I made this in Jan 2022. It's prior art, but I was learning Unity at the time so it is a little janky. In my oh so very humble opinion as its creator, a better guessing game because of the initial hint tuning.

#35What does the error "this word doesn't count" mean? Should the word be countable? Is it known (because "I don't know this word" also exists as an error) but not on the top N list?
I've gotten that on words that might've been slurs or something, but sometimes on words where I can't imagine that being the case.

#36It's weird that Celsius, Kelvin and Fahrenheit were so far apart.
The way I explained it to a friend, is that "bastard" is closer to "ol" and "dirty" than to "illegitimate". Because it appears near those words more often.

Oh, right I can see how that could be the reason for the word I tried.
After getting good scores with . It's a strange world where we can't speak of to AIs anymore because they think you're speaking of a-drug-which-must-apparently-not-be-named

#38My best guess was Water too today. But Temperature as a solution was a way far imo. Can you align the similarity index somehow? Does it evolve? Is it GPT?
For non-historic games, it might be good to use https://rot13.com to not spoil others
