Importantly: there was no "right answer" in mind when it created the question. The letters were random, as was the word.

It calculates the distance in vector space from your word to the given word.

I think it helps if you understand what Word2Vec is, as then it becomes clear what is going on.

so you didn't have a word near penultimate and then pick some letters from it? It's really just open-ended what the users should choose? That does make it a lot harder...
