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.
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.
I get frustrated by this too. Figured I'd post a new game but if people don't like it I can stop. I like it well enough to put up with some words that really should be linked not being linked, and unexpected words linking, but I can see why not everyone would.
3. How does Linxicon determine how similar words are to each other?
Behind the scenes, words are entered into a machine learning model that returns a score which indicates how similar words are to each other. If you want to learn more about the model used, click here to the documentation on SentenceTransformers.

I'm still not sold on this one; it's interesting enougn but it seems incredibly subjective. I don't believe my word should have connected to "living", and there was a link yesterday that wouldn't form that I'm convinced should have.
