How to play

Goal

Place five unique words as close as possible to their hidden semantic targets.

What do anchor words show?: Anchors label known locations in semantic space, giving meaning-based directions rather than letter clues.
What makes a valid guess?: Submit a recognised, unused word that satisfies the current puzzle's lexicon rules.
Why did my word appear there?: The word's meaning determines its position relative to the anchors. spelling similarity is not the distance measure.
How does feedback guide the next word?: The landing and signal indicate relative closeness or direction without exposing the hidden target word.
May I repeat a word?: No. Each of the five attempts must be a unique valid word.
How should I use five attempts?: Early guesses map the region. later guesses refine distance and direction toward the target radius.
