This puzzle's semantic breakdown
"crime" is a clustering word this round. A top-10 mean of 0.626 means it's surrounded by close synonyms — "crimes", "criminality", "homicide" being the tightest — so landing on the right direction pays off immediately.
The decay here is sharp — it starts at 0.761 and is down to 0.411 by rank 100, a 0.35 fall. Past the very top words, everything goes cold quickly.
One easily-missed direction: "homicides" scores 0.614 and ranks high, yet it isn't on the same path as "crimes". Keep guessing the obvious synonyms and you'll skip past it — and these "doesn't-look-close-but-is" words often crack the puzzle.
