Proximity (CleverGoat)
Find the day's hidden word by how close in meaning your guesses are.
Every day: One secret word a day for everyone, found by semantic closeness: each guess shows how near in meaning it is, with unlimited guesses. New puzzle: Once a day.
Proximity is CleverGoat's daily word-by-meaning game, in the style of Contexto. You guess words, and each one is ranked by how close it is in meaning to the hidden word; you narrow in on the answer with as many guesses as you need.
About Proximity (CleverGoat)
Proximity is one of the CleverGoat daily games, beside Flipple, Categories, Stacked, CrossHerd and Word Grid. Each day there is one hidden word, the same for every player, and the challenge is to find it through meaning rather than spelling.
You type any word, and the game tells you how close it is to the answer in meaning: the closer the word, the higher it ranks. Your guesses stack up in order of closeness, so you can see which ideas are getting warmer and follow them. There is no limit on guesses; the fewer you take, the better.
CleverGoat also hosts community-made games on the site. It is free with ads.
It suits players who enjoy Contexto and Semantle and like thinking in associations.
How to play Proximity (CleverGoat)
- Type any word as your first guess.
- See how close it is in meaning to the hidden word.
- Use your closest guesses to try related words.
- Keep narrowing in until you find the word.
Tips
- Start with broad, very different words to find a warm area.
- Once something is close, try synonyms and words from the same setting.
- Do not chase spelling: similar-looking words can be far apart in meaning.
