Codenames is a word association game where two teams guess secret words based on one-word clues. The game involves a 25-word grid, with each team identifying their words while avoiding the opposing team's words and the "assassin" word. This space uses Google's `gemini-1.5-flash` model to analyze the game board, provide relevant clues, and assist players in making informed guesses. I was largely successful in getting this to work along with few surprises and learnings along the way.
