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?

*nuts

Thanks, @Bytrgrewd, I seem to be getting further away rather than closer now though, lol. I have no idea what I'm doing really 😂

I'm not sure this game is for me I'm on my 167th guess and closest word is 230. I'm just typing in random words and getting nowhere.

Am on 951 now - seems to be circling something but I'm not sure what!

I gave up. I found myself going round and round in circles.

Been stuck on 998 allllll day, going to give up, close to 300 guesses now 😬

Ohmygodddd - don’t give up! You’re very close (998 is very close in meaning to the word).

Same at 998 and I must have tried 50 synonyms all lower, mostly cold 😱

I am peed off! My 14 year old got it in 15 guesses! She told me when I was on guess 232

I was going to give up, I was at 1 but jumped to 997...God this is annoying

I'm stuck on 996 & 992...

Yay I got it on my 131st guess, phew.

You're right OP, it certainly takes your mind off things

I know you mean well @EdwinsActsOfKindness but I am a defeated woman, given up hope….in a land of despair…I’m pretty sure I’ve completed the language 😂 there are no words left!!! I just can’t get it! I know when I know the answer I’ll cry as it’s going to be obvious, but I’ve been stuck on this all day and just got nothing left to give! Haha!

I’m on guess 308 now…..Oh the shame!!!

969 and completely stuck. Very close to giving up!!

[quote Bytrgrewd]@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes 986 was my closest before I got there! I actually think some of the less close words are better[/quote]
Thanks although I'm still on 986!! Can't seem to get any further and my brain is fried now!

197 guesses and only by looking up synonyms for the one at rank 996.

Ok, can go lie down now..... !

Got it in 251 and nearly dropped my phone in the bath in excitement 🙃

I finally twigged on to how it works and was very excited when I had a green! Got it today but I googled synonyms - Is that cheating?

@Peanutbutterfingers would you dm me a clue please? I’ve got the whole family annoyed at me going on about it!!

Can someone DM me a clue please? I hit 902 at about 8.30am, only have synonyms of that and am so stuck.

ooooh I just tried this for the first time and found it in 31. Once I'd got over 30.00 similarity, it started to click. REALLY addictive. Thanks OP

I'm at 994, do I stand a chance of getting this damn word, am so close to giving up!

I’m stuck on 955

Got it! Thank god, I can get on with my day now!

Do people do this without googling synonyms?
