Independent developer Reinvented Wheel released 'The Farthest Word' on unityroom on July 19, playable on PC and smartphones. Players answer words as unrelated as possible to a given theme. The relevance is displayed as a 'word distance' in kilometers, calculated using an AI model that converts words to vectors. The game has Normal and Endless modes; some players have submitted answers over 1,000 km away.
The game uses an AI model to convert words into vectors and calculates the distance based on the proximity of those vectors. In Normal mode, players aim for the farthest possible word from the theme; in Endless mode, each subsequent word must be farther than the last. Developer Reinvented Wheel announced the free release on unityroom with a tweet, noting the game works on both PC and smartphone. According to the in-game rankings, some players have already logged distances exceeding 1,000 km in Normal mode.
