This puzzle's semantic breakdown

Look at the neighbor spread and "nurse" lands in a very dense pocket (top-10 mean 0.626). "nurses", "nursing", "midwife" practically touch it, which means once a guess hits the cluster, the rest comes easier and easier.

From rank 1 to rank 100, similarity drops 0.399 (from 0.815 down to 0.416). That's a steep curve: a few top words dominate and the rest cool off fast — the signal is concentrated.

Don't overlook "hospital" — a solid 0.607, yet tucked off the main "nurses" line. This kind of "doesn't-look-like-the-answer but is" word is frequently the pivotal move here.
