>>> It's my first time playing this. After like the first ten guesses I finally found the FAQ section that explained what "similarity" means in this context, which before that I took literally and not in context (heh) so the number just confused me.



>>> By "similarity", we really mean "used in similar contexts". The principle was articulated by John Rupert Firth, who wrote, "[Y]ou shall know a word by the company it keeps."
So, "love" and "hate" may seem like opposites, but they will often score similarly.

The actual opposite of "love" is probably something like "Arizona Diamondbacks", or "carburetor".
