I made a helper for Proximity (a word association game like #Semantle). It lets you poke around the database to see what's close to what:

Screen shot of a game of Proximity in progress. There's a text box at the top where you enter your guesses, a "Guess" button beside it, then the list of guesses so far, with a colored bar indicating how close it is; the top guess is the most recent (264 away) while later guesses are ranked from closest (44 away) to farthest (tepid). The content is blurred so today's game isn't spoiled for you.

Below the guesses is a panel of buttons including "Hint" and "Nearby...", which is circled by hand…

Another screenshot, this time of the "Nearby words" view, normally shown after completing a puzzle. A text box with its "Nearby" button is again circled by hand. Below that, it says "Nearby words" and it lists the nearest words to "proximity", including their similarity metric (proximity 1 is "nearness" with a similarity of 67.19, proximity 10 is "located" with a similarity of 45.07).
