This puzzle's semantic breakdown

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

Similarity decays from a leading 0.834 to 0.42 at rank 100, a span of 0.414 — a steep slope. This word gives no consolation points for "close-ish": you're either near or far.

One easily-missed direction: "barrister" scores 0.684 and ranks high, yet it isn't on the same path as "attorney". Keep guessing the obvious synonyms and you'll skip past it — and these "doesn't-look-close-but-is" words often crack the puzzle.
