Kkomantle — Korean Word-Meaning Guessing Game
Loading puzzle…
How to play
Type a Korean word and see its similarity rank to the hidden answer. A lower rank (closer to 1) means closer in meaning. Use the rank and temperature colors as clues to find the secret word.
Origin & history
Kkomantle is a semantic-similarity guessing game built on word embeddings, following the lineage of Semantle and its Korean adaptations. Words closer in meaning to the secret rank higher.
FAQ
Why do some guesses show 'outside the ranking' with no rank?
Each puzzle ships only the top words nearest the answer, so a word outside that list can't be given an exact rank. Rather than invent a number, we honestly mark it 'outside the ranking' — meaning it's fairly far from the answer.
How is the similarity computed?
Ranking uses cosine similarity over fastText Korean word embeddings (Facebook AI Research, CC BY-SA 3.0), which map words to meaning vectors. It reflects statistical meaning-closeness learned from a large corpus, not subjective judgment.
