This puzzle's semantic breakdown

"class" has a moderately defined neighborhood. The closest word is "classes" at 0.763 similarity, and the top-10 average is 0.496. "classes", "grade", "clas" form its core cluster, but the edges are soft — you need a few probes to home in.

Similarity decays from a leading 0.763 to 0.319 at rank 100, a span of 0.443 — a steep slope. This word gives no consolation points for "close-ish": you're either near or far.

The hidden thread this round is "superclass" (0.467). It belongs to a different branch than the leader "classes", so intuitive guessing rarely lands on it — but once it clicks, the puzzle opens up.
