This puzzle's semantic breakdown

"dinner" is a clustering word this round. A top-10 mean of 0.679 means it's surrounded by close synonyms — "supper", "dinners", "meal" being the tightest — so landing on the right direction pays off immediately.

Similarity slides smoothly from 0.785 to 0.438 at rank 100, a total span of just 0.347. This word rewards patient triangulation over a single lucky stab.

One easily-missed direction: "brunch" scores 0.667 and ranks high, yet it isn't on the same path as "supper". Keep guessing the obvious synonyms and you'll skip past it — and these "doesn't-look-close-but-is" words often crack the puzzle.
