What happens
A short task with a specific constraint.
Top 5 Associations shows a prompt word and gives you six guesses to match its five-item server-owned answer list. Each hit fills a slot; matching all five earns a bonus.
How to play
A prompt word appears (e.g., "fire"). You have 90 seconds and 6 guess slots. Type a word you associate with the prompt and hit Add. After all guesses (or the timer), the game reveals the top 5 and how many you matched.
What this can tell you
One clue, with a clear boundary
You submit up to six associations for a prompt and the game matches them against a server-owned five-item answer list.
Repeated prompts may show the breadth of your semantic search and how quickly you converge on familiar meanings.
Associations alone cannot establish empathy, originality, social skill, or a fixed way of thinking.
This standalone run does not currently enter Persona. Reference-list matches are not registered evidence of associative breadth.
How this is measured

Frequently Asked Questions
How are the "top 5" determined?
Each prompt uses a server-owned reference list. Some records originate from seeded word data and others may be generated for catalogue coverage, so the list is a game answer key, not a published population norm.
What if my association is valid but not in the top 5?
It counts as a miss for this score but is not treated as a wrong idea. The round compares your answer with the reference association list.
