How is word order defined?
The game uses an artificial intelligence algorithm and thousands of texts to calculate word similarity against the word of the day. It is not necessarily related to the meaning of the words, but to the proximity in which they are used on the Internet. For example, if the word of the day was "infinite," words related to "love" or words related to "universe" could be close words of the day because "infinite" is commonly used in those two different contexts. In a similar way of thinking, if "tv" and "television", for example, are in very different positions, this means that they are used differently in relation to the word of the day, despite being the same object.How can I ask for advice?
