This puzzle's semantic breakdown

"bank" has a medium-density field this round. A nearest similarity of 0.769 ("banks") alongside a 0.576 top-10 mean says "banks", "banking", "banker" are core but the outskirts scatter — patience required.

Similarity decays from a leading 0.769 to 0.364 at rank 100, a span of 0.405 — a steep slope. This word gives no consolation points for "close-ish": you're either near or far.

One easily-missed direction: "overdraft" scores 0.539 and ranks high, yet it isn't on the same path as "banks". Keep guessing the obvious synonyms and you'll skip past it — and these "doesn't-look-close-but-is" words often crack the puzzle.
