Game On: LLMs Tackle Daily Puzzles

Hello everyone. I want learn Rust. Brain say make game. I make.

Each day(ish) I will pit numerous models against eachother in a battle of finding the connections between words. Play along if you’d like.

The scores can be aggregated using the following:

[...document.querySelectorAll(".topic-owner h4")]
    .reduce((acc, $el) => {
        const obj = JSON.parse($el.innerText);
        for (const key in obj) {
            if (!acc[key]) acc[key] = { w: 0, l: 0 };
            acc[key].w += obj[key].w;
            acc[key].l += obj[key].l;
        }
        return acc;
    }, {});

Summary

Model: gemini-2.0-flash-exp

Guess: [‘ewe’, ‘yew’, ‘you’, ‘u’]
Reasoning: The four words ‘ewe’, ‘yew’, ‘you’, and ‘u’ are all homophones or near-homophones, having the same or very similar pronunciations despite differences in spelling and meaning.
Win: True

Guess: [‘crew’, ‘m’, ‘v’, ‘boat’]
Reasoning: The connection is that they are all words or letters that can appear as a single character or short word on a ship’s radio call sign using the NATO phonetic alphabet. ‘Crew’ can be represented by ‘Charlie’, ‘m’ by ‘Mike’, ‘v’ by ‘Victor’, and ‘boat’ can be part of ‘Bravo’.
Win: False

Guess: [‘scoop’, ‘bowl’, ‘glue’, ‘8’]
Reasoning: The connection is that each word or number can be associated with a common kitchen or dining experience. ‘Scoop’ is a utensil, ‘bowl’ is a dish, ‘glue’ can be used (figuratively) to refer to something sticky like gravy, and ‘8’ can be associated with the idea of ‘eating a large meal’ referring to 8 portions.
Win: False

Guess: [‘grand’, ‘thou’, ‘tuesday’, ‘8’]
Reasoning: The connection is that each of these terms can be associated with an element of time or a period of time. ‘Grand’ can refer to a very long period of time (like grand ages), ‘thou’ refers to a somewhat archaic period, ‘tuesday’ is a specific day, and ‘8’ is a unit of time when paired with ‘o’clock’.
Win: False

Guess: [‘crew’, ‘m’, ‘k’, ‘v’]
Reasoning: The connection is that all four items can be associated with sounds or words relating to a ‘cooing’ or baby-like sounds. ‘Crew’ could sound like ‘coo’, ‘m’ is part of ‘mmm’, ‘k’ is part of ‘kuku’ or ‘goo goo’, and ‘v’ is similar to the soft humming sound ‘vvv’.
Win: False

Guess: [‘scoop’, ‘bowl’, ‘glue’, ‘k’]
Reasoning: The connection is based on a loose association with the concept of holding something, or a container. A ‘scoop’ is a tool for holding and moving a substance, a ‘bowl’ is a container that holds something, ‘glue’ (in a tube or container) is also a held item, and ‘k’ is associated with ‘keg’, which is a container for liquids.

You have reached the maximum number of guesses


Model: gemini-1.5-pro

Guess: [‘ewe’, ‘you’, ‘v’, ‘m’]
Reasoning: The connection is that they are all homophones (sound alike) of other words commonly used as a single letter: U (you), EWE (ewe), V (vee), M (em)
Win: False

Guess: [‘crew’, ‘boat’, ‘glue’, ‘tow’]
Reasoning: These words can all precede the word ‘boat’: crew boat, sail boat, tow boat, and glue boat (While less common, glue can be used to repair a boat)
Invalid word

Guess: [‘grand’, ‘total’, ‘slam’, ‘theft’, ‘jury’]
Reasoning: These words can all be combined with ‘grand’ to form common compound words or phrases: grand total, grand slam, grand theft, grand jury.
Invalid amount of words

Guess: [‘grand’, ‘total’, ‘slam’, ‘theft’]
Reasoning: These words can all be combined with ‘grand’ to form common compound words or phrases: grand total, grand slam, grand theft, grand jury. I’ve chosen four of these.
Invalid word

Guess: [‘k’, ‘m’, ‘8’, ‘scoop’]
Reasoning: These are all units of measure: k (kilogram/kilobyte/etc.), m (meter/mile), 8 (can represent any unit, e.g., 8 inches), and scoop (a unit of volume for things like ice cream or flour).
Win: False

Guess: [‘grand’, ‘slam’, ‘tuesday’, ‘crew’, ‘bowl’]
Reasoning: These words relate to the game of baseball: You could have a grand slam on Tuesday with a crew at the stadium enjoying a post-game celebratory drink from a bowl (perhaps not at a professional game!).
Invalid amount of words

Guess: [‘crew’, ‘sail’, ‘boat’, ‘yew’]
Reasoning: These words relate to a sailing context: A crew can sail a boat made of yew wood.
Invalid word

Guess: [‘yew’, ‘shoot’, ‘string’, ‘aim’]
Reasoning: These all relate to archery: yew was traditionally used for bows, you could shoot with a bow, a bow has a string, and you might aim with the bow.
Invalid word

Guess: [‘grand’, ‘total’, ‘you’, ‘k’, ‘8’, ‘glue’, ‘stick’]
Reasoning: These words can be combined to make compound words or common phrases: grand total, you are, and glue stick. Although less common directly side by side, k is often attached to units, hence k 8 could be considered similar, like kilometers per 8 hours/8 people, etc.
Invalid amount of words

Guess: [‘grand’, ‘total’, ‘you’, ‘k’]
Reasoning: These words can be combined to make compound words or common phrases: grand total and glue stick. I’ve selected ‘you’ and ‘k’ as they commonly appear next to measurements (You are 8 feet tall, 10k run, etc).
Invalid word


Model: o1-preview

Guess: [‘ewe’, ‘yew’, ‘you’, ‘u’]
Reasoning: The words ‘ewe’, ‘yew’, ‘you’, and ‘u’ are all homophones—they are pronounced the same way as ‘you’ in English.
Win: True

Guess: [‘k’, ‘grand’, ‘thou’, ‘m’]
Reasoning: ‘k’, ‘grand’, ‘thou’, and ‘m’ are all terms commonly used to represent the number 1000.
Win: True

Guess: [‘crew’, ‘boat’, ‘8’, ‘v’]
Reasoning: The words ‘crew’, ‘boat’, ‘8’, and ‘v’ are connected through the sport of rowing. In rowing, an ‘eight’ (represented by ‘8’) is a boat manned by a crew of eight rowers. The ‘v’ can represent the shape of the boat’s hull or be associated with the Roman numeral for 5, but when combined with ‘III’ (not in the list), it forms ‘VIII’, the Roman numeral for 8, tying back to the ‘8’. Therefore, these four words are connected through their association with rowing and boats used in the sport.
Win: False

Guess: [‘Bowl’, ‘Scoop’, ‘Boat’, ‘Glue’]
Reasoning: The words ‘Bowl’, ‘Scoop’, ‘Boat’, and ‘Glue’ are connected by the word ‘Rice’. A ‘Rice Bowl’ is a common dish serving rice with various toppings. A ‘Rice Scoop’ is a utensil used to serve or handle rice. A ‘Rice Boat’ refers to traditional boats in regions like Kerala, India, originally used to transport rice. ‘Rice Glue’ is an adhesive made from rice flour, historically used in bookbinding and art.
Win: True

Guess: [‘Bowl’, ‘Glue’, ‘8’, ‘Tuesday’]
Reasoning: The words ‘Bowl’, ‘Glue’, ‘8’, and ‘Tuesday’ can all be prefixed with ‘Super’ to form common terms: ‘Super Bowl’, ‘Super Glue’, ‘Super 8’, and ‘Super Tuesday’.
Win: True

Guess: [‘crew’, ‘v’, ‘boat’, ‘scoop’]
Reasoning: All four words—crew, v, boat, and scoop—are types of necklines or collar styles in clothing.
Win: True

You won in 6 guesses!


Model: o1-mini

Guess: [‘ewe’, ‘yew’, ‘you’, ‘u’]
Reasoning: The words ‘ewe’, ‘yew’, ‘you’, and ‘u’ are homophones, all pronounced the same way as ‘you’.
Win: True

Guess: [‘m’, ‘k’, ‘grand’, ‘thou’]
Reasoning: The terms ‘m’, ‘k’, ‘grand’, and ‘thou’ all represent the number 1,000 in different contexts or units.
Win: True

Guess: [‘crew’, ‘boat’, ‘scoop’, ‘bowl’]
Reasoning: The items ‘crew’, ‘boat’, ‘scoop’, and ‘bowl’ are all related to fishing activities. A fishing crew operates a boat, uses a scoop to gather fish, and stores them in a bowl.
Win: False

Guess: [‘V’, ‘8’, ‘tuesday’, ‘crew’]
Reasoning: The items ‘V’, ‘8’, ‘tuesday’, and ‘crew’ are connected through the concept of a scheduled team meeting. ‘V’ can represent the Roman numeral for 5, indicating the meeting time at 5 o’clock. ‘8’ can signify the date or a specific agenda item. ‘Tuesday’ is the day the meeting is held, and ‘crew’ refers to the team members attending.
Win: True

Guess: [‘scoop’, ‘bowl’, ‘glue’, ‘v’]
Reasoning: The words ‘scoop’, ‘bowl’, ‘glue’, and ‘v’ can be connected through the theme of crafting and cooking activities. A bowl is often used to mix ingredients, a scoop serves to measure or transfer items, glue is utilized in various craft projects, and ‘v’ can represent the shape or a specific tool used in these activities.
Win: False

Guess: [‘v’, ‘8’, ‘boat’, ‘crew’]
Reasoning: The words ‘v’, ‘8’, ‘boat’, and ‘crew’ are connected through the concept of a V8-powered boat. The letter ‘v’ and the number ‘8’ together form ‘V8’, which refers to a type of engine commonly used in boats for enhanced performance. The ‘boat’ is the vessel that utilizes the V8 engine, and the ‘crew’ comprises the team that operates and manages the boat.
Win: False

Guess: [‘crew’, ‘8’, ‘boat’, ‘bowl’]
Reasoning: The words ‘crew’, ‘8’, ‘boat’, and ‘bowl’ are connected through the sport of rowing. In rowing, a ‘crew’ refers to the team of rowers, the ‘8’ denotes an eight-person rowing shell, the ‘boat’ is the vessel used for racing, and ‘bowl’ can represent major rowing competitions or regattas often referred to as bowl events.

You have reached the maximum number of guesses


Model: gpt-4o

Guess: [‘ewe’, ‘yew’, ‘you’, ‘u’]
Reasoning: The connection between the selected items is based on their phonetic or homophonic qualities: ‘ewe’, ‘yew’, ‘you’, and ‘u’ all sound like the pronoun ‘you’. They are homophones or near-homophones, which creates a logical grouping based on their similar pronunciation despite different meanings or spellings.
Win: True

Guess: [‘crew’, ‘boat’, ‘glue’, ‘bowl’]
Reasoning: The connection between the items ‘crew’, ‘boat’, ‘glue’, and ‘bowl’ can be found by considering the context of common activities or items. A ‘crew’ is commonly associated with a ‘boat’, as a group of people who work on a boat. The word ‘glue’ can be associated with ‘bowl’ because people often use bowls to mix glue for crafting or other purposes. Additionally, the word ‘glue’ can metaphorically represent something that helps to bind or hold things together, much like a crew helps in managing a boat efficiently.
Win: False

Guess: [‘m’, ‘v’, ‘8’, ‘k’]
Reasoning: The items ‘m’, ‘v’, ‘8’, and ‘k’ can all be connected through their association with symbols and representations. These items are often used as abbreviations or symbols. ‘M’ often stands for the Roman numeral 1000, ‘v’ is the Roman numeral for 5, ‘8’ is a numeral, and ‘k’ is commonly used to denote ‘thousand’ (as in 5k for 5000). These are all characters that are used to represent numbers or values, making them related in the context of symbolic or numeric representation.
Win: False

Guess: [‘grand’, ‘k’, ‘thou’, ‘m’]
Reasoning: ‘Grand’, ‘k’, ‘thou’, and ‘m’ all share a connection in that they can be used to indicate quantities related to thousands. ‘Grand’ is a slang term for one thousand dollars. ‘K’ is short for kilo, which means a thousand; it is often used as an abbreviation for thousands. ‘Thou’ is an archaic term that people sometimes use to refer to one thousand, especially in financial contexts. Finally, ‘M’ can represent a thousand in Roman numerals or in contexts where it acts as an abbreviation, like with sums of money.
Win: True

Guess: [‘crew’, ‘boat’, ‘glue’, ‘bowl’]
Reasoning: The items ‘crew’, ‘boat’, ‘glue’, and ‘bowl’ can be connected through the theme of things that hold or contain other items. A ‘crew’ is a group of people who work together, often on a ‘boat’. ‘Glue’ holds things together by sticking them, while a ‘bowl’ contains or holds things like food.
Guess already made

Guess: [‘crew’, ‘v’, ‘boat’, ‘scoop’]
Reasoning: The words ‘crew’, ‘v’, ‘boat’, and ‘scoop’ can be associated with a maritime theme. A ‘crew’ operates on a ‘boat’. The shape of the letter ‘v’ could resemble the prow of a boat, or the outline of a navigation pattern. A ‘scoop’ can be marine-related equipment used to lift or move items on a ship.
Win: True

Guess: [‘glue’, ‘8’, ‘bowl’, ‘Tuesday’]
Reasoning: The most coherent connection between the items involves ‘glue’, ‘8’, and ‘bowl’ being related to physical objects or items, while ‘Tuesday’ is more of a temporal concept. Glue can be used to attach or fix objects, ‘bowl’ is a type of container, and when you consider ‘8’, it could represent 8 bowls or any quantifiable measurement involving bowls and glue. ‘Tuesday’, however, doesn’t fit as neatly because it’s a day of the week, which doesn’t directly relate to any of the tangible items or numbers in a logical way. Therefore, no direct meaningful connection can be established that includes exactly four items listed given the nature of ‘Tuesday’ being an outlier in this context.
Win: True

You won in 7 guesses!


Model: gpt-4o-mini

Guess: [‘ewe’, ‘yew’, ‘crew’, ‘you’]
Reasoning: The words ‘ewe’, ‘yew’, ‘crew’, and ‘you’ are all connected by their phonetic sounds and the use of the ‘ew’ or ‘u’ vowel sound. They have similar pronunciations, which creates a phonological connection between them.
Win: False

Guess: [‘boat’, ‘glue’, ‘scoop’, ‘bowl’]
Reasoning: The items ‘boat’, ‘glue’, ‘scoop’, and ‘bowl’ are connected through their association with water and containers. Boats are used on water, glue can be used in crafts that could involve water-based materials, scoops can be used to take substances from a container, and bowls can hold liquids.
Win: False

Guess: [‘k’, ‘m’, ‘v’, ‘u’]
Reasoning: The items ‘k’, ‘m’, ‘v’, and ‘u’ are all letters of the English alphabet. They are each individual characters used in written language and can represent different sounds or variables in mathematics.
Win: False

Guess: [‘thou’, ‘crew’, ‘tuesday’, ‘grand’]
Reasoning: The words ‘thou’, ‘crew’, ‘tuesday’, and ‘grand’ can be connected thematically through Old English and historical context. ‘Thou’ is an archaic term for ‘you’, reflecting historical aspects of language. ‘Crew’ relates to a group often engaged in work or travel—a historic theme. ‘Tuesday’ reflects the days originally named after gods or celestial items, and ‘grand’ encapsulates broader historic events or gatherings.
Win: False

Guess: [‘8’, ‘boat’, ‘scoop’, ‘crew’]
Reasoning: The items ‘8’, ‘boat’, ‘scoop’, and ‘crew’ can be connected through the concept of quantity and activities associated with water. The number ‘8’ could represent the number of paddlers in a rowing crew or signify a boat’s capability (like its length), and both ‘scoop’ and ‘boat’ could involve movements related to watercraft operations.

Model: gpt-4o

Guess: [‘vixen’, ‘cupid’, ‘rudolph’, ‘comet’]
Reasoning: Upon examining the list, we can find a connection through the theme of reindeer names from ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’. Specifically, ‘Vixen’, ‘Cupid’, ‘Rudolph’, and ‘Comet’ are all names of Santa Claus’s reindeer in the classic Christmas folklore. This connection makes them a logical group associated with each other in a meaningful way.

A ‘comet’ is an icy small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to release gases—a process called outgassing. A ‘moon’ is a natural satellite that orbits a planet. A ‘planet’ is a celestial body that orbits a star and is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity.
Win: True

Guess: [‘vixen’, ‘rudolph’, ‘queen’, ‘fey’]
Reasoning: The connection between the items is based on famous reindeer from the song ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’. In the song, several reindeer are mentioned by name. ‘Vixen’ and ‘Rudolph’ are names of reindeer mentioned in the song. ‘Jenny’ is not a reindeer, but ‘Queen’ can be connected to the female concept where Vixen represents a female aspect as well. However, to make a stronger connection, ‘Vixen’, ‘Rudolph’, and according to thematic alignment with female concepts portrayed by ‘Queen’ connect to ‘Fey’ as it denotes fairy-like or enchanted beings, completing connections with magical or mythological creatures.
Win: False

Guess: [‘shannon’, ‘jenny’, ‘nanny’, ‘queen’]

Finally, ‘Queen’ is often a title for commanding female roles seen across various storylines and movies.
Win: False

Guess: [‘nanny’, ‘queen’, ‘jenny’, ‘shannon’]
Reasoning: The connection here lies in characters who are strongly associated with leadership or archetypal symbolism, scattered across folklore, popular music or cultural myth. ‘Nanny’ symbolizes care and a guiding figure generally honored in stories like Mary Poppins or culturally significant roles. ‘Queen’ denotes leadership and commanding presence in numerous tales and allegories. ‘Jenny’, name used in different pop cultures such as pop songs or media, and might represent strength in character or vivacity aligned like queen characters. Lastly, ‘Shannon’ present frequently woeful beyond beginnings characterized in lyrics or culture aligns affinities theme once considered courageousness like previous entries.

Win: True

Lastly, ‘Vixen’ implies trickiness or playfulness often exemplified in folklore as well. Thus, they connect through their cleverness and skills in navigating challenges.
Win: False

Guess: [‘nanny’, ‘queen’, ‘rudolph’, ‘cupid’]
Reasoning: The selected items focus on characters and archetypes related to guardianship and iconic figures aligned with certain myths or stories. ‘Nanny’ is often seen as a caregiver and protector. ‘Queen’ symbolizes authority and leadership, often depicted as a guardian of her realm. ‘Rudolph’ represents hope and guidance through difficult times, particularly in folklore around Christmas. Lastly, ‘Cupid’ embodies love’s protection power. Together, they create a strong connection through themes of guardianship and heroism in different cultural narratives.
Win: False

Guess: [‘strong’, ‘hawkeye’, ‘sagittarius’, ‘jenny’]
Reasoning: These four items represent elements associated with strength and resilience in different contexts. ‘Strong’ signifies physical or emotional strength. ‘Hawkeye’, as a skilled archer, demonstrates exceptional ability and determination in combat settings. ‘Sagittarius’ represents the astrological sign of those born under it, often characterized by their philosophical outlook and adventurous spirit—qualities seen as forms of inner strength. Lastly, ‘Jenny’, particularly in the organization of children’s literature (like ‘Jenny and the Strong Ones’), can illustrate themes of bravery and perseverance. Hence, these items are interconnected through themes of strength and resilience.

Two side notes to mark so far:

  • My game engine currently returns a WIN if the query has already-won items. Need to be mean and return a DROP. Besides adding to the score this doesn’t affect the actual gameplay as the model is still requested to continue guessing.

  • ChatGPT seems to REFUSE to accurately capture all logs. So, be warned that some models and their guesses will be randomly missed.

  • Should probably use alises for the names and not truncate them. It’s a bit misleading with gemini.

Win: False

Guess: [‘elder’, ‘respectable’, ‘handsome’, ‘healthy’]
Reasoning: The words ‘elder’, ‘respectable’, ‘handsome’, and ‘healthy’ can all be used to describe positive attributes of a person, particularly an older person. ‘Elder’ directly relates to age, ‘respectable’ suggests good standing and reputation, ‘handsome’ refers to physical attractiveness, and ‘healthy’ signifies good physical condition.
Win: False

Guess: [‘miss’, ‘like’, ‘around’, ‘about’]
Reasoning: The words ‘miss’, ‘like’, ‘around’, and ‘about’ can all be used in relation to expressing feelings of fondness, desire, or close proximity. ‘Miss’ indicates a longing for something or someone, ‘like’ implies affection or a positive feeling, while ‘around’ and ‘about’ can refer to being in the vicinity of a person or object one might be fond of. The core connection is related to expressions of sentiment or location relative to a favored target.

Guess: [‘ark’, ‘ore’, ‘spruce’, ‘pine’]
Reasoning: The words ‘ark’, ‘ore’, ‘spruce’, and ‘pine’ can be connected through the idea of materials or resources used in construction or crafting. An ark is a type of vessel built from wood (‘spruce’, ‘pine’ being specific types of wood), and ore is a raw material used in metal crafting and could be thought of within the context of ship building and early technology. Though seemingly disparate, they have an underlying connection with the production of items from raw resources.

Model: gemini-1.5-pro

Guess: [‘tidy’, ‘spruce’, ‘handsome’, ‘healthy’]
Reasoning: The connection between tidy, spruce, handsome, and healthy is that they can all be used to describe someone’s appearance in a positive way. While some might argue for other connections (like respectable with some of these), this meaning of ‘well-presented or attractive’ applies to all four chosen words.
Win: False

Guess: [‘around’, ‘about’, ‘roughly’, ‘like’]
Reasoning: The words ‘around’, ‘about’, ‘roughly’, and ‘like’ can all function as prepositions or adverbs indicating approximation or similarity.
Win: True

Guess: [‘spruce’, ‘pine’, ‘fir’, ‘palm’]
Reasoning: The connection is trees of the coniferous variety commonly found in North America. “Spruce”, “pine”, and “fir” are all types of conifers. While “elder” can refer to a tree, it’s a flowering tree, not a conifer.
Invalid word

Guess: [‘spruce’, ‘pine’, ‘palm’, ‘healthy’]
Reasoning: The connection is types of trees. "Spruce” and “pine” are conifers. “Palm” is a distinct type of tree. I have included “healthy” as trees can be healthy, connecting it to the theme. Although not all of these are a specific kind of tree, they all relate to the concept.
Win: False

Guess: [‘elder’, ‘respectable’, ‘miss’, ‘handsome’]
Reasoning: The connection is terms related to age and respect. “Elder” refers to an older person, often respected. “Respectable” is an adjective associated with worthy behavior. “Miss” is a title used to respectfully address young unmarried women (historically implying youth). “Handsome” also fits, historically also used to refer to more mature men who had grown into themselves.
Win: False

Guess: [‘tidy’, ‘spruce’, ‘handsome’, ‘healthy’]
Reasoning: These words can describe a person’s appearance. “Tidy” implies a neat and well-groomed appearance. “Spruce” means neat and smart in appearance. “Handsome” is an adjective used to describe attractive people. “Healthy” can also describe appearance, implying a vibrant and well-nourished look.
Guess already made

Guess: [‘ore’, ‘ark’, ‘pine’, ‘palm’]

Win: False

Guess: [‘ala’, ‘miss’, ‘palm’, ‘elder’]

Model: gpt-4o

Guess: [‘handsome’, ‘spruce’, ‘tidy’, ‘healthy’]
Reasoning: The connection between the selected items can be formed by grouping terms that are related to appearance and condition. The words ‘handsome’, ‘spruce’, ‘tidy’, and ‘healthy’ all describe or imply a positive appearance or condition. ‘Handsome’ often refers to someone looking appealing or having good looks. ‘Spruce’ suggests being neat and elegant. ‘Tidy’ denotes orderliness and cleanliness. ‘Healthy’ implies being in good condition or shape. These words generally revolve around being in a favorable state in terms of looks or condition.
Win: False

Guess: [‘palm’, ‘pine’, ‘ore’, ‘ark’]
Reasoning: The connection between the selected items can be formed through their association with elements of a natural landscape. The words ‘palm’, ‘pine’, ‘ore’, and ‘ark’ relate to natural elements and settings. ‘Palm’ and ‘pine’ are types of trees, representing vegetation. ‘Ore’ refers to a type of naturally occurring solid material from which a metal or valuable mineral can be extracted, connecting to geology. ‘Ark’, in a historical or mythical context, often connotes a large vessel that might traverse through landscapes or be part of creation myths involving nature.
Win: False

Guess: [‘elder’, ‘respectable’, ‘handsome’, ‘healthy’]
Reasoning: The connection between the selected items can be formed based on descriptions that can be applied to people and maturity. The words ‘elder’, ‘respectable’, ‘handsome’, and ‘healthy’ are attributes often aligned with maturity or status. An ‘elder’ is typically a person of advanced age and wisdom. To be ‘respectable’ suggests integrity or being esteemed by others, often related to mature or established individuals. Being ‘handsome’ usually pertains to physical good looks, which is a popular trait regardless of age, but coupled with life experience in some contexts. Lastly, ‘healthy’ indicates robust mental or physical condition, which complements a life described by age (‘elder’) and respect (‘respectable’). These terms reflect traits commonly appreciated as part of personal development.
Win: False

Guess: [‘roughly’, ‘around’, ‘about’, ‘like’]
Reasoning: The connection between the selected items formation through their association with approximate measurements or estimates in size, quantity, or similarity. The words ‘roughly’, ‘around’, ‘about’, and ‘like’ share meanings related to approximation and comparison. ‘Roughly’ and ‘around’ indicate estimation within a range of size or time. Similarly, ‘about’ suggests an estimation in terms of computing quantities or situations, while ‘like’ compares similarities to give approximate representation.
Win: True

Guess: [‘spruce’, ‘pine’, ‘tidy’, ‘palm’]
Reasoning: The four words: spruce, pine, tidy, and palm can be connected through the theme of trees and plant-like characteristics. Pine and spruce are both types of trees in the conifer family. Palm is another type of tree that is commonly found in tropical regions. Tidy, while not a tree itself, can metaphorically relate to the idea of being ‘neat’ or ‘well-kept,’ which can tie back to the way these trees might be viewed in a landscaped or aesthetic setting.
Win: False

Guess: [‘elder’, ‘respectable’, ‘ore’, ‘healthy’]
Reasoning: The four words: elder, respectable, ore, and healthy can be connected through the theme of quality or value. ‘Elder’ is often used respectfully to describe an older or more experienced person. ‘Respectable’ describes someone or something that is esteemed or held in high regard. ‘Ore’ is a naturally occurring material from which valuable metals can be extracted, and thus has inherent value. Finally, ‘healthy’ indicates well-being and value to life and quality.

Model: gpt-4o-mini

Guess: [‘like’, ‘about’, ‘around’, ‘roughly’]
Reasoning: The words ‘like’, ‘about’, ‘around’, and ‘roughly’ are all adverbs or prepositions that indicate approximation or similarity. They can be used to describe how something is perceived or compared to other things.
Win: True

Guess: [‘elder’, ‘palm’, ‘spruce’, ‘pine’]
Reasoning: The chosen words ‘elder’, ‘palm’, ‘spruce’, and ‘pine’ all refer to types of trees or plants. ‘Elder’ refers to the elder tree, ‘palm’ refers to palm trees, ‘spruce’ refers to spruce trees, and ‘pine’ refers to pine trees. Therefore, they can be grouped together based on their classification as trees.
Win: True

Guess: [‘handsome’, ‘respectable’, ‘healthy’, ‘tidy’]
Reasoning: The selected items ‘handsome’, ‘respectable’, ‘healthy’, and ‘tidy’ all share a common theme of positive attributes or qualities that describe someone’s character or appearance. They reflect aspects of being well-groomed, appealing, and virtuous.
Win: True

Guess: [‘ark’, ‘ore’, ‘miss’, ‘ala’]
Reasoning: The items ‘ark’ and ‘ore’ can be connected through the concept of mining, as ores are mined from the ground, possibly referencing the ‘ark’ as a vessel that could have once transported valuable resources. The items ‘miss’ and ‘ala’ can be connected in the context of absence, as ‘miss’ indicates a loss or longing for something, and ‘ala’ is reminiscent of ‘a la,’ which can be used in contexts where something is missing or presented in a certain way. Therefore, we connect ‘ark’, ‘ore’ with one aspect of value and transportation, and ‘miss’, ‘ala’ with aspects of absence and presentation.
Win: True

I was wondering if and when you would start including the other reasoning models.

It will be interesting to see if we need more advanced difficulty levels to determine a winner.

2 Likes

Definitely will. As of right now I just press a button and 99% of this is generated (minus the cGPT play-by-play)

As long as the model is OpenAI API compatible I’m happy to add it.

It’s feeling that way. o1-preview has completely dominated with a near-perfect score. If people want to create items I’m happy to do a customized version every now and then.

Perhaps I could also increase the number of connections to find, challenge the attention of the models.

On that note.

This was the trial run. Starting tomorrow I will be using a specific tag:

Scores can be aggregated w/ javascript as so:

[...document.querySelectorAll(".topic-owner h4")]
    .reduce((acc, $el) => {
        const obj = JSON.parse($el.innerText);
        for (const key in obj) {
            if (!acc[key]) acc[key] = { w: 0, l: 0 };
            acc[key].w += obj[key].w;
            acc[key].l += obj[key].l;
        }
        return acc;
    }, {});

Buglers, through their musical instrument, often represent heraldic symbols and sometimes appear in fictional contexts.
Win: False

Guess: [‘irons’, ‘car’, ‘bridges’, ‘bugler’]
Reasoning: Focusing on tools/objects and their uses (even if a bit abstract): Irons are tools used to smooth wrinkles.

I do believe for these particular groups of words there is a group that rates them for difficulty. I haven’t spent the time to see where it could be found.

I’ve also considered using embedding models that (hopefully) are part of the same family of these LLMs. It’s surprising how often the embedding model comes really close to getting some of the groups correct.

But yeah, running some stats on these eventually will be cool. I’m thinking of what else I could unload for quick analysis besides the wins and losses.

I mean, it’s crazy, some of the reasoning at times:

Guess: [‘bacon’, ‘hash’, ‘toast’, ‘car’]
Reasoning: The connection between ‘bacon’, ‘hash’, ‘toast’, and ‘car’ is that they are all terms that can be associated with breakfast or food. ‘Bacon’ is a common breakfast food, ‘hash’ refers to a dish like corned beef hash, ‘toast’ is a breakfast staple, and ‘car’ can refer to a ‘carrot’ in a playful or shorthand way, which is a vegetable often used in breakfast dishes.
Win: False

When you’re so close to the answer but then trip and fall right before the finish line. LOL

Model: gemini-2.0-flash-exp

Guess: [‘minefield’, ‘hornets’ nest’, ‘pandora’s box’, ‘apple of discord’]
Reasoning: The four items ‘minefield’, ‘hornets’ nest’, ‘pandora’s box’, and ‘apple of discord’ are all metaphors for situations or items that, while perhaps seeming appealing at first, are fraught with hidden dangers or potential for trouble. They all represent something that is best avoided because of the problems they can bring about.
Win: False

Guess: [‘sure thing’, ‘no sweat’, ‘piece of cake’, ‘easy’]
Reasoning: The items ‘sure thing’, ‘no sweat’, ‘piece of cake’, and ‘easy’ all share the common theme of describing something as being simple or not difficult. They are all colloquial expressions used to indicate that a task or situation requires minimal effort.
Win: True

Guess: [‘minefield’, ‘hornets’ nest’, ‘pandora’s box’, ‘apple of discord’]
Reasoning: The four items I’ve selected all relate to situations or objects that are known for containing or creating chaotic, dangerous, or difficult scenarios. A minefield is a literal area of danger, a hornet’s nest is a source of aggression and potential stinging, Pandora’s Box is a mythical source of all evils, and the Apple of Discord is an object that sparked a great conflict.
Guess already made

Guess: [‘can’, ‘tires’, ‘habit’, ‘histamine’]
Reasoning: The four items I’ve chosen are all related to the concept of containing something, often with a potential or intended use. A can is a typical container, a tire is designed to contain air, habit can ‘contain’ a behavior, and histamine, as a compound, is often ‘contained’ within cells or bodily systems before being released.
Win: False

Guess: [‘hershey’, ‘aegis’, ‘apple of discord’, ‘tires’]
Reasoning: These four items are connected by their association with brand names or trademarked products or services. ‘Hershey’ is a well-known chocolate brand, ‘Aegis’ is a trademarked defense system name, ‘Apple’ is a tech brand and its associated product and ‘Tires’ commonly bear the branding of specific manufacturers.
Win: False

Guess: [‘itsy’, ‘can’, ‘histamine’, ‘habit’]
Reasoning: These four items relate to ideas of small size or being part of a larger unit. ‘Itsy’ is an informal word describing smallness. A ‘can’ is relatively small and a container. ‘Histamine’ is a small molecule involved in bodily functions. A ‘habit’, being one small repeated act within someone’s life can be perceived as something small.
Win: False

Guess: [‘habit’, ‘golden fleece’, ‘histamine’, ‘apple of discord’]
Reasoning: The connection here is that these four items all represent abstract concepts or ideas, often related to human behavior, stories, or health. ‘Habit’ refers to a repeated pattern of behavior, ‘golden fleece’ is a symbolic treasure from a Greek myth, ‘histamine’ is a biochemical involved in physiological processes, and ‘apple of discord’ is a symbol of conflict.

Model: gemini-1.5-pro

Guess: [‘piece of cake’, ‘easy’, ‘no sweat’, ‘sure thing’]
Reasoning: The connecting theme is ‘idioms related to difficulty or ease’. ‘Piece of cake’, ‘easy’, ‘no sweat’, and ‘sure thing’ all imply something is simple or easily accomplished.
Win: True

Guess: [‘minefield’, ‘hornets’ nest’, ‘pandora’s box’, ‘apple of discord’]
Reasoning: The connecting theme is ‘things that cause trouble or danger’. A minefield, hornets’ nest, Pandora’s box, and apple of discord all represent sources of potential harm or conflict.
Win: False

Guess: [‘aegis’, ‘tires’, ‘can’, ‘hershey’]
Reasoning: These four words relate to protective elements. ‘Aegis’ means protection, ‘Tires’ protect the metal wheel rims of vehicles, and ‘Can’ (as in a tin can) is a protective container for food. ‘Hershey’s’ makes chocolate, including Kisses which are wrapped in foil, a protective layer.
Win: False

Guess: [‘itsy’, ‘histamine’, ‘habit’, ‘apple of discord’]
Reasoning: The connection is small things. ‘Itsy’ literally means tiny. ‘Histamine’ is a molecule (extremely tiny!). ‘Habit’ refers to something small and consistent we do. And, while not always the case, the apple of discord was described as a golden apple, generally an item that can be held in one’s hand making it fairly small.
Win: False

Guess: [‘golden fleece’, ‘pandora’s box’, ‘minefield’, ‘habit’]
Reasoning: These all relate to a pursuit or quest. The golden fleece was the object of Jason and the Argonauts’ quest. Pandora’s box represents the pursuit of knowledge or curiosity. ‘Minefield’ suggests navigating a dangerous situation or pursuing a goal despite obstacles. And a ‘habit’, whether good or bad, is something we pursue and cultivate, even unconsciously.

Model: gpt-4o

Guess: [‘mute’, ‘quiet’, ‘calm’, ‘slow’]
Reasoning: The words ‘mute’, ‘quiet’, ‘calm’, and ‘slow’ are connected through the theme of quietness and tranquility. ‘Mute’ suggests silence, ‘quiet’ is the absence of noise, ‘calm’ implies stillness and lack of disturbance, and ‘slow’ can be associated with a gentle, relaxed pace which is often accompanied by a serene atmosphere.
Win: False

Guess: [‘oil’, ‘net’, ‘kettle’, ‘ear’]
Reasoning: The terms ‘oil’, ‘net’, ‘ear’, and ‘kettle’ can be connected through various uses or contexts where these items may play a role. ‘Oil’ can be used in cooking, which may involve a ‘kettle’ for boiling. In many fish recipes, you can also use a ‘net’ for catching the fish. Furthermore, while culinary contexts might involve aromas which are related to ‘ear’, they allude broadly to senses involved in such settings. However, their direct interaction is not that evident, signifying a weaker thematic set.
Win: False

Guess: [‘yield’, ‘volume’, ‘gross’, ‘make’]
Reasoning: The words ‘yield’, ‘volume’, ‘gross’, and ‘make’ are all related to production and outcomes. ‘Yield’ refers to the amount of something produced, ‘volume’ can refer to the amount or capacity of production, ‘gross’ indicates the total amount produced before deductions, and ‘make’ can mean producing or creating things.
