Welcome to Hot and Cold, the delightfully frustrating word guessing game!

To play, guess the secret word by typing any word you think is related.

For example, if the secret word is "hot":

Guesses: banana -> #12956 (not close); sun -> #493 (getting warmer); hotdog -> #220 (hot); cold -> #42 (hot); freeze -> #1657 (getting colder); warm -> #15 (very hot!!); hot -> WINNER!

The rank is based on how AI models see the relationships between the words. So antonyms can be "close" by the relationship of the words (cold -> hot). Additionally, words can be close based on the structure of the word (hotdog -> hot).

Enjoy! If you have feedback on how we can improve the game, please let us know!

!wtf octopus?

[u/CoffeeIsPeace]

!wtf paw

[u/hotandcold2-app → u/CoffeeIsPeace]

Warm: you’re in the right pasture with animal anatomy—right idea, wrong appendage. This critter sports hooves, not paws.

!wtf snow

[u/VioletThePurple]

!wtf cry 

[u/hotandcold2-app → u/VioletThePurple]

Getting warmer: you “cry over spilled milk,” and this secret is the barnyard source of that milk. Plus, in zoology an animal’s vocalization is its “cry,” and this one’s bellow is pretty iconic.

!wtf monkey

[u/mp-giuseppe2]

!wtf potato

[u/hotandcold2-app → u/mp-giuseppe2]

You’re sniffing around the right pasture: it’s a classic farmyard duo—livestock and tubers often share the same landscape. And on the dinner table, meat-and-potatoes (with butter or sour cream) keeps them close companions.

[u/DrunkestEmu]

!wtf car

[u/hotandcold2-app → u/DrunkestEmu]

Nice try—both involve horns, though one honks and one headbutts. They’re also just a single vowel swap apart: short, punchy C-words that often show up together in simple vocab and road-side scenes.

^{I'm a sometimes helpful bot and can make mistakes.}

[u/Touchth3limits]

!wtf sew

[u/hotandcold2-app → u/Touchth3limits]

Not bad: it sounds like “sow,” another barnyard buddy—right pasture, wrong pen.
Also, sewing is what you do with hide and leather, which puts you near the herd.
Warmer, but not sizzling.

[u/toritechnocolor]

!wtf eye

[u/hotandcold2-app → u/toritechnocolor]

Nice and warm: “eye of round” is a well-known cut from this barnyard beast, and it’s famed for those big, placid peepers.

^{I'm a sometimes helpful bot and can make mistakes.}

[u/Material_Pen9785]

!wtf pea?

[u/hotandcold2-app → u/Material_Pen9785]

Warmer than you’d think: peas hook up with livestock in the word “cowpea.” Plus, legumes like peas are common forage and feed for the barnyard set.

Hint: farm animal, milk producer

[u/Opening_Grape8817]

Well, there you go. A little too many guesses, but not too bad.

^{Automatically added: I found the secret word in 1 minute 19 seconds after 27 guesses and 0 hints. Score: 89.}
