Find the hidden word by meaning. Rank 1 is the word; the lower your number, the closer you are.
- Guess any everyday word and send it.It comes back with a place: the 812th closest word to the answer, out of twenty-five thousand. Small is close.
- Follow the meaning, not the letters.Spelling counts for nothing here. If BOAT is warm, try SAIL, HARBOUR and CAPTAIN rather than COAT.
- Expect the model to be odd about opposites.Closeness is learnt from words used in the same places, so HOT and COLD are near neighbours, and so are DOCTOR and HOSPITAL. Warm means the same subject, not the same sense.
Scored on guesses.
What the words mean
- The word:
- the hidden word. Everyday English, four to eight letters. That is what you are looking for
- Place:
- where your guess comes when all 25,050 words we know are lined up by closeness in meaning to the answer. 1 is the answer, 40 is very warm, 9,000 is a different subject
- Closeness:
- worked out from a public model of English trained on which words appear near which others. Usually that is meaning; sometimes it is association, which is why HOSPITAL is near DOCTOR and also near DIED
- Warmer:
- ▲, closer in meaning than your best guess so far
- Colder:
- ▼, further away than your best guess so far
- Guess:
- one word, typed in. You get 60, and thirty is an ordinary solve in this kind of game
