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!!!

@SmolCat I don't know if my rambling hint has helped at all or made it worse for you haha

I solved Semantle #33 in 357 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #33. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.79. semantle.novalis.org/

Hahahahahahaha!! 357 guesses! 😂😂
I've been barking up the wrong tree all day, so I started putting in random words they were saying on the TV, which gave me something in the 900s. Then it was synonyms from there. Phew! Here's to doing better tomorrow.

BettyBootsie · 03/03/2022 19:16

I was at 996 about 12hrs ago and still no better! Lots of greens but all lower - driving me crazy and I feel I've done ALL the words... if someone wants to chuck something in the 970s my way, I'd be ok with that ... 😉

Caranjo · 03/03/2022 19:17

Never played it before...I'm at 991 but had about 100 guesses.

LemonViolet · 03/03/2022 19:20

Oh goodness that took all day. I’m not sure if this is the right side of the frustrating/satisfying divide for me!

I solved Semantle #33 in 195 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.77. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 46.08 (988/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

MrsReacher85 · 03/03/2022 19:20

Okay, I’m definitely not getting this myself! If anyone has any hints to throw my way, I’d be very grateful. My top word is current 991.

picklemewalnuts · 03/03/2022 19:23

Can someone have a look at this and check I'm doing it right? I'm not at all sure I know what I'm supposed to do. I'm randomly guessing words, none of which are any closer. Is that the idea? Until I randomly get a lucky guess?

Do you have 928? I personally think it’s closer to that one that 991
Wallawallakoala · 03/03/2022 19:24

Thrown a couple.of hints that are probably no use sorry!

Yep!
RoxieLoxy · 03/03/2022 19:25

That's right @picklemewalnuts

I'm no expert but I now jump around lots of different topics - so space, description words (fabulous or similar), weather etc. Eventually you'll land on one and then start to move closer towards the actual word.

Wallawallakoala · 03/03/2022 19:25

I'd say so @picklemewalnuts

RunningFromInsanity · 03/03/2022 19:26

If you want a hint I can on whether it’s a noun/verb/adjective?

LemonViolet · 03/03/2022 19:33

That’s what I’ve been doing. Just putting in lots of random words until something sticks and then following that, word-association style

Ricardothesnowman · 03/03/2022 19:34

I'm stuck on 966. Id love a clue please

Hasselhoffsheadband · 03/03/2022 19:35

Got it in 164. The theme I was on wasn't the most direct theme but I got there eventually!

Caranjo · 03/03/2022 19:38

Got it in 128 in the end. Hopefully will get there quicker tomorrow.

OutdoorType · 03/03/2022 19:39

Thanks for the new thread. Looking forward to tomorrow's word.

picklemewalnuts · 03/03/2022 19:43

Ok, so 66 guesses in, I'm at 723 similarity.

I'm not sure where to go next, but I'll keep going and see what happens!

picklemewalnuts · 03/03/2022 19:44

Oooh, 939...
