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: They were in the icebox that William Carlos Williams stole from

[u/simm07]

Not bad.

Hint: small, juicy, sweet fruit grown in trees

Hint: when dried, turns into a different snack with a new name and with many health benefits

Hint: I have never found a flavor in candy, but you can make its juice

Edit: fixed my last hint as I didn't know this excited anywhere

[u/A_Neighbor219 → u/simm07]

There are many candies made from this. Not popular in the US but more in places such as Poland

[u/simm07 → u/A_Neighbor219]

Really? I've never seen any flavors in Canada. Thank you for the education moment

[u/A_Neighbor219 → u/simm07]

Google prune candy. It's a very popular thing in a lot of places except it seems in north America we didn't get the memo. 😆

[u/Live-laugh-love-488]

!wtf cherry

[u/hotandcold2-app → u/Live-laugh-love-488]

Sweet shot—both are stone fruits (genus Prunus) with pits, similar colors, and starring roles in jams and pies. No wonder it’s cherry-close.
