This puzzle's semantic breakdown
"lesson" has a medium-density field this round. A nearest similarity of 0.787 ("lessons") alongside a 0.545 top-10 mean says "lessons", "learned", "teach" are core but the outskirts scatter — patience required.
Similarity decays from a leading 0.787 to 0.337 at rank 100, a span of 0.45 — a steep slope. This word gives no consolation points for "close-ish": you're either near or far.
One easily-missed direction: "taught" scores 0.507 and ranks high, yet it isn't on the same path as "lessons". Keep guessing the obvious synonyms and you'll skip past it — and these "doesn't-look-close-but-is" words often crack the puzzle.
