This puzzle's semantic breakdown
Around "folks" it's neither crowded nor empty: "peeps" leads at 0.649, the core circle is "peeps", "people", "fellas", and the top-10 mean is 0.596. Closing in takes a few rounds of probing.
A 0.212 gap (0.649 → 0.437) makes this a flat distribution: no cliff, warmth fades slowly, guesses go "warm" easily but rarely land dead-on.
Watch "yahoos": it ranks high at 0.595 but heads a different way than "peeps". Fixate on the handy synonyms and you'll brush right past it — yet it's often the key to this round.
