Each word only has a small number of closely-related words, and many words have alternate unintended meanings/implications which manifest further down the "related words" list.
Therefore to ensure that the related words are actually related to the desired topic, make it possible for the user to input multiple words on their topic of interest, and combine the related words from all of these.
e.g. instead of entering "pie", user could enter "pie,cake,yummy,dessert"
Although the resulting mix will be more heterogenous, each word will be more obviously well-connected to one of the seeds
