#2Seems 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.

#4Interesting. Took me way too long to realize that "close" is measured semantically, not lexically. A good strategy is to go up and down the ladder of abstraction, e.g. if "car" is close, try "engine" and "vehicle."

Since I had the same issue while looking at the app for a minute, and your comment resolved it in 3 seconds, I would argue the explanation could be better. Thanks.
Also: Interesting game!

#8Got today’s word in 77 guesses. According to the game that’s not a good score, but I was impressed I was able to figure it out at all. Definitely much harder than Wordle.

#9I 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).

I got it in 31. All it says for me is “Congrats!” What did it say for you?
