Codenames

Finds clues for the popular game Codenames.

Given a list of words, the goal is to find a single word that connects as many words in the list as possible such that someone guessing would be able to identify those words.

For example, given the list of words: [Hood, Plate, Cross, Cell, Straw, Press, Thumb, Bottle, Elevator]

The word "button" could be used to connect press, thumb and elevator.

This solver attempts to find clues from a list of words using the word2vec representations that can be found here https://nlp.stanford.edu/projects/glove/. The model represents words in the English language with vectors of real numbers. The vectors have many properties detailed over there, but one property is that words whose vectors have a high cosine similarity are 'associated'. This solver uses this property to identify if a given word could be used as a clue.
