Don't understand it.

You guess a word, could be anything, the further you are away from the the word the higher the number is. You can take hints. Today the word was orange so if you'd said a colour you would have had a lower number meaning youre closer to solving it, yellow was 2.

I thought I'd try it, and here's how it worked for me.

Started with banana (16,982, so not too good)
Next was fence (5,675, much better)

Wasn't sure which type of fence, so next I tried

sword (12,638) so not that meaning.
perimeter (22,160), which is worse than sword. Now I'm puzzled.
wood (4,111 - best yet)
plank (41,810 - worst so far, to my amazement)
cane (11,687) an improvement
oak (15,833, not far from where I started!)
slat (25,287) getting colder again
stick (2,081) aha! getting warm again
twig (39,756) how frustrating is this?
baton (9,139) at this point, I'm thinking of wooden pointy things
pencil (5,070) smallish wooden pointy thing?
stake (9,673) must be too big
peg (15,857) - maybe not pointy enough?
screwdriver (24,523) forget that line of thought!
wand (6,731) - closer to stick and pencil
bat (7,364) - bigger and further away
match (3,637) - second-best guess after stick
toothpick (23,674) - so much for small pointy things!
rod (13,380) - back in banana territory!

At this point I asked for a tip, and the word 'example' showed up for 300. This implies some type of measuring stick. Let's follow that tack...

ruler (8,672) - not so good
mould (28,973) - this is awful!
pattern (4,562) - so my top five are example, stick, match, wood, and pattern. Hmm... Time to ask for another tip.

device (150)

knife (7,201)
sharpener (21,606)
prototype (7,452)
copier (16,040)
grater (17,158)

OK - I have work to do. What's the answer? I select 'give up'. And the answer is...

mail

Mail? What's that got to do with device, example, and stick? 🤔
