This puzzle's semantic breakdown

Look at the neighbor spread and "student" lands in a very dense pocket (top-10 mean 0.617). "students", "teacher", "undergraduate" practically touch it, which means once a guess hits the cluster, the rest comes easier and easier.

A 0.302 gap (0.712 → 0.41) makes this a flat distribution: no cliff, warmth fades slowly, guesses go "warm" easily but rarely land dead-on.

Watch "university": it ranks high at 0.605 but heads a different way than "students". Fixate on the handy synonyms and you'll brush right past it — yet it's often the key to this round.
