I tried playing a browser game 'Tangolf' that adds and subtracts words to get closer to the subject word
A game ' Tangolf ' has been released in which you enter words associated with the target word and reach the theme word, such as 'cards + fortune telling = tarot'. Although it is a simple rule, it is said that it is a deep game, so I actually played it.

Tangolf's start screen looks something like this. The theme at the time of writing the article was 'bracelet'. The theme will change at midnight Japan time.
In Tangolf, you can enter a word of up to 5 times and 4 letters or less to get closer to the subject word. Since the bracelet is worn on the wrist, enter 'wrist' and click '+'.
As you type, the words are 'added'. The 10 words closest to the entered 'wrist' are displayed, and the gauge on the left shows the distance to the theme 'bracelet'.
Since the bracelet is an accessory to be worn on the wrist, enter 'ornament' next and click '+'.
Then, we succeeded in shortening the distance to the 'bracelet' to the remaining 17%.
Furthermore, in general, bracelets are decorative items for fashionable purposes, so I entered 'fashionable' and clicked '+'.
However, the distance to the target has increased to the remaining 26%, and irrelevant words such as 'collar' and 'pacifier' are displayed.
For the time being, enter 'body' and click '-' to remove words related to the body.
Then, although the distance to the subject expanded, words close to 'bracelet' such as 'cufflinks' and 'hoop' were displayed.
So I typed 'bangle' and clicked '+'.
Then the gauge became 100% and it became clear. This time, it was cleared with a total of 5 strokes of 'wrist + decoration + fashionable body + bangle'. You can also share your score on Twitter by clicking 'Tweet Score'.
If you want to start over, you can try again by clicking the button below the gauge. Even with the same theme, there are many ways to clear it, so finding your own answer is one of the ways to enjoy Tangolf.
According to Tangolf's developers, Tangolf calculates by 'vectorizing' words. The 'vectorization' of the word is explained in detail in the following video.

Also, as a condition for the gauge to reach 100%, the developer states, 'The subject word must be included in the specific ranking of the result.' Also, since this ranking gradually becomes loose depending on the number of strokes, it is said that it is difficult to aim for a hole-in-one depending on the theme.
