Semantic word-guessing games
These are word games in which players infer a secret target word by entering semantically related guesses and reading closeness feedback. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, because only four dated entries exist before the index start and two members have no source date; it predates the index or its members are undated. Wick leads on traction with 1 star, while SemantiK and Crackword: Word Duel trail at 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
