This puzzle's semantic breakdown
"engine" has a moderately defined neighborhood. The closest word is "engines" at 0.82 similarity, and the top-10 average is 0.562. "engines", "powerplant", "turbo" 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 0.82 and is down to 0.392 by rank 100, a 0.428 fall. Past the very top words, everything goes cold quickly.
The hidden thread this round is "crankshaft" (0.534). It belongs to a different branch than the leader "engines", so intuitive guessing rarely lands on it — but once it clicks, the puzzle opens up.
