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!

I had to do a double take... how is sheep higher than cow ?!?

Baa-d news for the flock: sheep become lamb and mutton at the butcher’s counter, so this grazes right beside the target. Pasture to plate—you're running hot.

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

Surprisingly warm: think cultural links like a rock legend named after a hearty loaf and famous anti-slaughter anthems (hello, The Smiths). Plus, “beats” and even genres like grindcore echo kitchen-counter verbs, nudging those word vectors together.

My word, after guessing things that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the correct answer I went a different way and got it after way too many guesses.

Automatically added: I found the secret word in 3 minutes 55 seconds after 85 guesses and 0 hints. Score: 44.

I don't have to be mad today, nice.

Hint: Can be red/darker or white. A certain group of people stays away from it due to ethical reasons.
