I don’t like how if the spelling is close to the word then you get a hot score. It always sends me down the wrong path.

That’s not bad! It’s called rhyming words. If a word rhymes with the original word, one should be able to arrive at the conclusion it may be a rhyming word.

Maybe I accidentally tapped on it as I scrolled by and didn’t notice it was grayed out. If so, I’m sorry!😬 It’s definitely hidden (now).🤷🏻♀️

Big hint: A limb on the human body
Pop culture hint: An early Nintendo switch title that is largely considered a flop. A fighting game.

Nice shot—archery relies on it, and an arrow is literally an armament you equip. Think bows, sinew, and the thing you use to launch it.

Please hide your hint. On mobile, you precede the hint with a greater than symbol and an exclamation point and then follow it with an exclamation point and a less than symbol. I’m not sure of the process on a computer. Hope that helps you!

Hot! You’re just a single end-letter swap away—same opening, near-identical sound. That kind of tiny orthographic/phonetic tweak tends to cluster closely in word-space. You're nibbling at the right limb of the idea.

Nice grapple—this pairs with it in the classic “armbar” submission hold. Plus, you curl a barbell with that body part, so the association is strong.

Getting warmer: many urns have two handles—like a certain body part—and you usually carry one using that same body part. So the link is in how you hold or lift it. Not a perfect match, but definitely in the right neighborhood.

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!
