Simplified Context-First Clue Generator
A focused prototype that demonstrates context-based clue generation
without heavy dependencies or complex model loading.
Key improvements over test_context_prototype.py:
1. Multiple context sources (Wikipedia, dictionary patterns, word structure)
2. Smart pattern-based clue generation
3. Handles technical terms like XANTHIC
4. Production-ready structure with clear separation of concerns
