Inspired by the TV show countdown and my previous game Dadagrams (which my dad sadly decided to stop playing)


Nice!


Good score!


Thanks!


Thanks! Which device / browser?

And more importantly ... did you win?


Pixel 8 Pro, Firefox.

Yes. I beat Grandma by 2 points.


Ok will investigate thanks!


Today's game isn't loading :-(


Thanks for the feedback!

The hidden words are hand selected from a smaller vocabulary list to make the game is solvable without having to guess.

Then if you find a more obscure word that is valid in the dictionary it is counted as a bonus word and can further help you solve the hidden words based on it's position.


Must be a dark mode plugin thanks will fix!


Good idea thanks!


The words "Hacker" and "News" have been connected with a minimum two words between so far! Can anybody solve it with one?


Solved :)

The answers lies in the place you are reading this from.


Well done! And thanks for the clue


The game uses a set of semantic vectors from ConceptNet to calculate the relatedness between two words.

You can read more about them and use them yourself here - https://github.com/commonsense/conceptnet-numberbatch
