This puzzle's semantic breakdown

"cream" is a clustering word this round. A top-10 mean of 0.612 means it's surrounded by close synonyms — "creams", "creme", "icecream" being the tightest — so landing on the right direction pays off immediately.

The decay here is shallow — 0.712 to 0.431, only 0.282 apart. Upside: lots of warm words. Downside: they sit close together, so locking the exact one is a grind.

One easily-missed direction: "ice" scores 0.6 and ranks high, yet it isn't on the same path as "creams". Keep guessing the obvious synonyms and you'll skip past it — and these "doesn't-look-close-but-is" words often crack the puzzle.
