I enjoy the game, but question the algorithm used. The FAQ says what they use. But it's a small team and they are doing great work. I like the majority of their games!
This has got to be the dumbest game ever.
I managed to get to 27 away but ended up giving up after burning through 3 hints after that. The closer the connections got to the actual word, the less sense it makes.
I can only imagine this is using some kind of BS deep learning model to infer semantic similarity, because there are some extremely bizarre jumps.

Best I've been able to do today.
I've played some where I got it in like 5, and some where I've gone over 100 guesses. Now, if I don't get it in like 40 or so, I just lose interest. 🙃
I don't lose interest, I just know I can't win.

I do too. Happy to see more games added.
I don’t trust their proximity score?

I fail as often as I win, but still a fun time.
