This puzzle's semantic breakdown

"daughter" is a clustering word this round. A top-10 mean of 0.775 means it's surrounded by close synonyms — "son", "niece", "granddaughter" being the tightest — so landing on the right direction pays off immediately.

The decay here is sharp — it starts at 0.846 and is down to 0.459 by rank 100, a 0.386 fall. Past the very top words, everything goes cold quickly.

One easily-missed direction: "wife" scores 0.757 and ranks high, yet it isn't on the same path as "son". Keep guessing the obvious synonyms and you'll skip past it — and these "doesn't-look-close-but-is" words often crack the puzzle.
