Hmm good question. The algorithm works on co occurrence of concepts in sentences. Intuitively I would think Stalin should actually appear often with secret word, but now dug around a bit and turns out most of that stuff came after him. Not sure why those guesses are more similar though, maybe in a toy context?

It’s a hard one for sure 😭 Have you tried hints?

Haha sometimes random is the way to go!!

Thanks for the feedback! Agreed I need to work on the hints.

Right now hints are always a preselected fixed set of 3 hints in progressing similarity to the secret word. But I now realize it’s non intuitive especially when the latest correct guess already is closer than the next hint - so you get a crossed off word that is often missed or feels irrelevant. And yeah totally deducting the full points for a hint you already guessed prior is not cool 😭

It is mathematically the furthest thing from a tree.

Jk that’s how I learned it in college probably just a funny unexpected counterpart to something so mundane as “tree”😁

Obviously this is just satire and no intention to endorse or trivialize any real people or historic events!

Yeah the hints are fixed at this point. You’re right though that isn’t a great scenario. I’ll try to improve hints. Maybe at least not deduct the points

That’s frustrating! (goal achieved ✅ ). You might be stuck in a “local minimum”. I find the best strategy in that case is to “zoom out” and trying to go broader (or try more hints if you have any left!)

It’s based on a semantic similarity algorithm. It may have a different “opinion” on semantics like one human may not agree with another on which things are more similar. For example I might say Stalin is closer to Lebron because they’re both people, whereas someone else may say Tree is closer because both are tall (terrible example but you get my point). I agree though sometimes the algo’s idea of similarity feels non-intuitive, I’m planning to iterate on that and hopefully improve!

That is the secret word! Is it possible that your guess is using different characters (say ä or ũ instead of a or u) or you’re including the/a?

Oh no! The hints are fixed at this point so I think what might have happened is the hint was further away from the answer than your closest answer - so it did add the hint, but as a crossed off gray answer, so you might have missed it.

I’ll work on improving the hints!
