Semantle Chapter 2

Since the madness of our love/hate affair with Semantle is continuing, I thought I start a second thread. Why worry about the goings on in the world when you can pull your hair out over vocabulary?

To umderstand what I'm on about follow this link. It's a word game like Wordle in that you need to find the secret word of the day, but it works by semantics. So you input a word and it will tell you how close you are. You have infinite guesses.

For example, one of the secret words was 'costly' with expensive, cumbersome and burdensome being the three closest words.

If you want to see how we've been getting on up to now, thread one is here.

Enjoy, and don't shoot the messenger when you get nothing else done all day!!!

Hmmm I have 2 greens (645 and 707) but any other words I think are related are cold.

Sexnotgender · 05/03/2022 07:46

Couple green now, at 826.

Caranjo · 05/03/2022 07:55

Got it in 66 today - 2 green guesses early on then loads of misfires then got it in 2 more green.

Same here, except I'm miles away. 119, 88, 473, all related. No other related word works. Hmm
RoxieLoxy · 05/03/2022 07:56

I can't get past 958 but got a green early on

Ricardothesnowman · 05/03/2022 07:56

I solved Semantle #35 in 195 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.77. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #73. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.01. semantle.novalis.org/

Well, actually ds got it, I was v surprised

Yes this is where I'm at...running out of related words to try!
SleeplessInSemantle · 05/03/2022 08:09

I think I was very lucky to get it in 7 this morning, just by pure fluke went down the right kind of ‘theme’

AngeloMysterioso · 05/03/2022 08:10

Pretty impressed really given that the first green word I found has less than fuck all to do with the top green words…

I solved Semantle #35 in 41 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.31. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #21. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 42.59 (948/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

MrsElm · 05/03/2022 08:11

Aaargh here I am again.

I have a very low green and can't get past it 😕

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 05/03/2022 08:13

I solved Semantle #35 in 99 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.14. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #33. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 19.63. semantle.novalis.org/

Ok, after getting nowhere for ages, I was very lucky!

BowerOfBramble · 05/03/2022 08:18

I am on a hiding to nothing this morning!

I have these as well plus 986 also related but the other words that might go are nowhere in the top 1000
EdwinsActsOfKindness · 05/03/2022 08:25

Oooh BowerOfBramble - you’re following the exact jump that I did. I got it in a few words after 986.

BowerOfBramble · 05/03/2022 08:28

No way! Glad you’ve got it. All the words related to 986 seem to be either low hundreds or “cold” so I’m obviously on the wrong theme! Any hints welcome Smile

Sorry - re-reading my post it sounds boastful. I just meant that you’re very close now!

I can dm you a hint if you like?

BowerOfBramble · 05/03/2022 08:32

Not boastful at all! And yes please!

squirrelnutkins1 · 05/03/2022 08:43

Can I have a hint please 😊

SouperNoodle · 05/03/2022 08:47

This game is so infuriating but here I am for yet another round! Grin
34 guesses and closest is 532/1000 and any relating words are cold.
I need to find a theme!

How is everyone else doing?

GiveMummyTheWhizzer · 05/03/2022 08:49

I solved Semantle #35 in 12 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.79. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 41.32 (934/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Whoop!!!

DoorLion · 05/03/2022 08:50

I took a very weird journey to the word today!
I solved Semantle #35 in 16 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.92. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 76.78 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

lljkk · 05/03/2022 08:53

I sent possible hints to Squirrel Nutkin... but I'm actually stuck myself.

If she gets it right 3 guesses after that then I'm going off to sulk in a corner.

Sexnotgender · 05/03/2022 08:57

Had a sudden flash of inspiration 😂

I solved Semantle #35 in 53 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.69. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 6.44. semantle.novalis.org/

I've got 645 and 762 and some lower greens but likewise baffled at the moment.
