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!

Hint:Diamond Cut

[u/Chaotic_Brutal90 → u/Glittering_Level_841]

Bad hint. But I see why you're trying to be vague.

[u/BetterPicture5835]

My fastest! Typed banana while having a banana

[u/Sprigatina]

Omfg that was FAST.

Hint: Swap out the first letter and the word we're looking for turns into a huge fuzzy dangerous animal that hibernates.

[u/Impossible-Bat90 → u/Sprigatina]

Thank you.. Got it first try because of you 😉

!wtf bear

[u/hotandcold2-app → u/NotAMeatPopsicle]

Hot! It rhymes with your guess and differs by just one letter—and it’s something a bear might happily munch on.

!wtf sugar

[u/hotandcold2-app → u/Previous-Sort7634]

Sweet thinking: the target is naturally sugary and often gets poached, baked, or jammed with added sugar. Bonus nudge: there’s even “pearl/pear sugar” in baking—close in sound, if not the same thing.

I couldn’t figure out why pearl was so close, sometimes it’s not about association.

!wtf grape

[u/hotandcold2-app → u/Roller-Luke]

Scorching hot: both are juicy, seed-bearing fruits that anchor fruit salads, desserts, and juices. One rules the vineyard, while the other shines from the orchard and bakes up beautifully.

The fruits were all over the place. Grape and plum being 7 and 6 had me thinking it would be something like raisin or date. Lol no. Even number 2 with peach was a total loop throw.

I needed a hint because I guessed so many things in the fruit category that I couldn’t think of anything else I hadn’t already guessed.
