It’s a little janky. My word was “temperature”. I got to “water” (no. 29) and then got stuck. Words leading up to it were rain, cloud, storm. Hard to take the leap from there to “temperature”

You might want to remove the word for spoiler's sake. It is the same for everyone, like Wordle
Keeping it generic I started with some identical words. It took me a little bit to realize I was getting some conflicting things (i.e. opposites that were similar) so needed to change the kind of word I was looking for. Wouldn't really call it janky because of that though, trying to figure out what could be related to the words so far is the point not a side effect. Looking at the final closest words I might have been upset having put in something like #4 and getting lost though.
