Wick is a daily word game where players guess a secret word by semantic similarity rather than spelling, using word embeddings and cosine similarity to provide hot/cold feedback. It also allows yes/no questions answered by an LLM without revealing the answer. The project is open-source and uses Gemini embeddings on the web and Apple's on-device models for iOS.

Target audience: game developers, NLP enthusiasts, casual gamers
