Midpoints: A Word Game Powered by AI Embeddings and Convex Components

Midpoints is an innovative word game created by Ian, which combines elements of Wordle, Scattergories, and crossword puzzles, utilizing AI embeddings and vector mathematics to challenge players in finding words that conceptually bridge two given words. The game employs vector embeddings to map words into a mathematical space, allowing for precise scores based on how well a guessed word fits between the two given words. Players are presented with categories, such as cars or foods, and given 10 attempts to guess words that strike the perfect balance between two qualities. Scoring is determined by algorithms like the Midpoint Calculation, Reciprocal Rank Fusion, and vector dot products, each contributing to a nuanced evaluation of the guesses. The game is built on the Convex platform, ensuring scalability and responsiveness, with features like leaderboards, caching, and rate limiting to enhance user experience. Midpoints is open-source, inviting community contributions for further enhancements and is available for play or customization via GitHub.
