How this puzzle worked

On January 2, 2026, every guess players made was ranked by semantic similarity to Schindler's List: the game compares text embeddings of the guess and the answer and counts how many of its ~35,000 known entities sit closer. A rank in the green band (1–300) meant a guess from the same neighborhood of meaning (think same category, field, or franchise), while ranks past 5,000 signaled a completely different part of the map. Solvers typically worked their way in by probing broad categories first, then following the warm colors toward the Film & TV cluster.

Par for this puzzle was 30, golf-style: finishing in 30 guesses or fewer (after adding any hint penalties of +2, +4, +6…) counts as beating the course. New to the game? Read the full how-to-play guide or try today's puzzle.
