Garam Thanda: Guess the Word

One secret word. Unlimited guesses. Every guess gets a rank: #1 is the secret word, and the smaller the number, the closer your word is in meaning. Hot (garam) or cold (thanda)? Follow the clues and close in on the answer.

Type a word and see its rank at once. Words with a close meaning glow red, nearby ones amber, far-away ones blue. Your guesses stay sorted from closest to farthest, so you can see where you are getting warmer.

How the closeness works: word closeness was computed offline with Google's EmbeddingGemma model before the game was built, so the app needs no internet to rank your guesses.

Ads and purchases: optional rewarded ads give extra hints or unlock an archive puzzle. Short ads can appear after a practice puzzle, never during a puzzle and not after the daily puzzle. Remove Ads is a one-time purchase that turns off those ads and unlocks the whole archive. Hint packs are available as optional purchases.

For adults (18 and over). Word lists leave out names and offensive words; if you find a word that should not be there, use Report a word in Settings.
