If you need a distraction from things

Try Semantle.

It's like Wordle in that you need to guess the word of the day, but works by semantics. So you input a word and it will tell you how close you are. You have infinite guesses.

For example, ysterday's word was 'costly' with expensive, cumbersome and burdensome being the three closest words.

I'm currently 840 words away with a similarity of 47%. I started at under 2%.

Anybody else attempting it?

Finally got it! Does anyone else look at the list of words afterwards? Obviously, won't mention any of them but some of them I have never even heard of, so hope none of them end up being the chosen word.

Got to 982. Any clues as I need to get some house work done!

I am just not getting this today!

Is reaching 300 guesses embarrassing?

I'm at 150 and not a sniff 😭

98 guesses today 😅

Ooh I’m on 950

I don't understand the negatives either, maybe it means it's opposite? It's not in the FAQ or on reddit.

Yesterday was tricky, I got there in the end with movies - characters and themes that might be in movies.

I'm only around 16/17% today so far.

The cold guesses can help but you have to think extremely wide - for example two days ago when the word was piano, my more successful cold guesses were leading me towards joy and fun, which led to entertainment which led to music. Once I got music themed words they were in the green section.

Arghhh!! I have 986, 987, 993 and 998
About to throw my phone out the window

Can you Dm me 998 please, I have no shame in cheating, I’ve been trying for too long now 😂

@OhMygodddd sent 🤣

I've been assuming the negatives are the system laughing at me for being so ridiculously far off the mark tbh 😂

I solved Semantle #31 in 237 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.82. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #98. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 57.39 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Finally. Took me ages to get a green then felt like I had all bloody greens except the one I needed!

Finally got a green on my 189th guess!!!

It’s a hard one today (again!)

All my green words are very vague and I’m not getting much of a strong theme.

I'm really struggling today..... synonyms aren't helping!

I'm on 998 and think I've used every synonym possible! Maybe I need to think outside the box.

Got it on guess #54!

@weebarra you are almost there! It is a similar word!

I can't believe it!!!!!! Got to 952 and then bam! 😁

I solved Semantle #31 in 72 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 1.01. semantle.novalis.org/

Aaagh, on 972 after 255 guesses. I feel like I'm so close but so far!

There appear to be antonyms not just synonyms

I solved Semantle #31 in 96 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -3.08. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #37. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.46 (975/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I think I like it

Highest I can get is 602. I think this is like when you try to remember words in a foreign language and you suddenly go blank.

I solved Semantle #31 in 106 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.36. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 40.91 (978/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Wool!

Yesterday the only green words I had were ‘alien’ and ‘porn’. It threw me right off and I had to give up

I meant woop of course! No more words!!
