Sixmantic, the six-step word chase
A daily word-association puzzle asks players to steer from a starting word to a goal through real associations.
- For
- Daily word-game players and association nerds
- Worth noticing
- The board exposes AI link strength and how many players chose each route.
Field notes
The game presents a start word and destination, then offers associations from the current word as possible moves. Its scoring language includes a par target, a Lucid run, and a streak, while the public comparison layer reports AI link strength and player-route frequency. The homepage also describes a progression ladder from Sleepwalker to Aristotle. The underlying six-step word-network claim is presented by the site as measured across thousands of words, rather than demonstrated in the extract.
