This puzzle's semantic breakdown

"pocket" has a moderately defined neighborhood. The closest word is "pockets" at 0.768 similarity, and the top-10 average is 0.572. "pockets", "wallet", "pouch" form its core cluster, but the edges are soft — you need a few probes to home in.

The decay here is sharp — it starts at 0.768 and is down to 0.363 by rank 100, a 0.405 fall. Past the very top words, everything goes cold quickly.

The hidden thread this round is "briefcase" (0.56). It belongs to a different branch than the leader "pockets", so intuitive guessing rarely lands on it — but once it clicks, the puzzle opens up.
