Rank words by direction alone, then let vector length vote.
Query , best match at
Cosine similarity compares only the directions of two vectors; the dot product also multiplies their lengths. Click a word to make it the query, then switch to the dot product: lion’s long vector overtakes queen as the best match for king although it points 54° away rather than 18°. Real embeddings have hundreds of dimensions; these 2D coordinates are illustrative.
