This puzzle's semantic breakdown
Look at the neighbor spread and "sheriff" lands in a very dense pocket (top-10 mean 0.62). "sheriffs", "lawman", "deputy" practically touch it, which means once a guess hits the cluster, the rest comes easier and easier.
A 0.379 similarity gap (0.779 → 0.399) means a peaked distribution: nailing the top words is hugely rewarding, and just missing them drops you off a cliff.
Watch "lawmen": it ranks high at 0.611 but heads a different way than "sheriffs". Fixate on the handy synonyms and you'll brush right past it — yet it's often the key to this round.
