No, this game is not fun. I've played it quite a few times and found it addictive, but not in a fun way. I had to force myself to stop playing it because I realized it was just frustrating and un-fun and you never get any better at it because there's no way to improve your reasoning about the similarity scores or ever become truly "good" at it.

For example if you've got "rescued" you might go in the direction of "mountain" or "accident" rather than "assisted," "helped" etc. But also I stopped playing because it wasn't fun anymore.
