This puzzle's semantic breakdown

"department" has a medium-density field this round. A nearest similarity of 0.737 ("departments") alongside a 0.565 top-10 mean says "departments", "dept", "departmental" are core but the outskirts scatter — patience required.

The decay here is sharp — it starts at 0.737 and is down to 0.361 by rank 100, a 0.376 fall. Past the very top words, everything goes cold quickly.

One easily-missed direction: "supervisor" scores 0.519 and ranks high, yet it isn't on the same path as "departments". Keep guessing the obvious synonyms and you'll skip past it — and these "doesn't-look-close-but-is" words often crack the puzzle.
