This must be the most frustrating game like these. I don't get the intuition of why some words are decided distance. I guess it takes into account all possible meanings.

Edit: in the end I was able to get the perfect score after several tries.

This type of game is based off a dataset that came out a few years ago, that was originally built to train AI. It's built by analysing all text fed to it (pretty much all of Google book and a very large part of the internet) and whether a word is close or not depends on how frequently the words appear near each other.

how frequently the words appear near each other

That's what I thought for yesterday's puzzle and tried "final" and "version" but apparently there was no connection between them. I guess if you keep playing you'll start learning the dataset too.

One thing I misunderstood is that it's not about how close they are semantically, but in meaning. It's subtle.

I just played for the first time and got:

Game #144
Shortest path: 3 (Avg. 3)
Total words: 3 (Avg. 3)
🟦πŸŸͺπŸŸ₯ | πŸ”₯ 1

I must have just got lucky with the word I chose: >!food!<

Interestingly, I chose the same word that you did. But the direct connection to "living" seems to be a stretch.
