The game is called Noun Sense. It's a game about word association. Each day, you get 10 adjectives. Your job is to guess the most common noun that follows them.
I created the dataset on my own laptop off a large collection of text files (billions of words). I generated the adjective/noun pairings and their frequencies utilizing a variety of sources (magazines, news articles from the last few years, movie subtitles etc). I have a full blog post about it if you are interested in the development details.
Lately, I've been busy tweaking the UI and handling user migrations from guest -> regular account. I also added a friend system, streak system and leaderboard.
Give it a shot here and let me know what you think!
Feels like a single player version of Family Feud, and I can see the appeal to it. It’s not my personal cuppa, but it’s good: it looks nice. It plays well. You can tell what’s going on at all...

Thanks! I am actually working on the coop multiplayer version right now. The plan is to have a full coop mode, where you work together as a team to guess the top 10 nouns in a given period of time...

The plan is to have a full coop mode, where you work together as a team to guess the top 10 nouns in a given period of time (or maybe cumulative score?). I'll probably also create a free for all version or team vs team (family feud style!). I appreciate you checking it out.

Special thanks to @balooga for some great feedback and bug finding. And thanks to early adopters @cutmetal and @HiddenTig.

Noun Sense and enclose.horse from that linked Tildes thread have bumped NYT Spelling Bee down to my tertiary daily game.
