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!!!

I gave up after 150 attempts. I never would have got there, I was off on a different track

Got it! Though I took my time...

I solved Semantle #33 in 116 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.66. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #42. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 45.04 (986/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Forgot to post the summary!

ElegantlyTouched · 03/03/2022 20:39

Can I have a clue, please? My highest is 947 and I'm almost 250 guesses down.

Finally got it, 606 guesses!! That's bad even for me!

prettygirlincrimsonrose · 03/03/2022 20:54

Aargh, I've got 980, 981, 986, 987, 989, 992 and 998. This is great but it's driving me mad!

picklemewalnuts · 03/03/2022 20:58

Is the etiquette to PM a clue?

Aye, means people can read the thread without fear of it spoiling their 'enjoyment' of the game.

Finally that was not easy!

Can I ask for a clue?
I'm stuck way off at 572

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 03/03/2022 21:41

Thank you @ElegantlyTouched for starting the new thread. I've spent quite a few hours the last two days doing Semantle when I should have been doing other things! 😁

First ever semantle try. Loved it but did get stuck. Got a little hint from the end of the last thread.

I solved Semantle #33 in 60 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.76. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 49.76 (992/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Stompythedinosaur · 03/03/2022 21:53

I would like a clue please! I've got no higher than 968 in my last 100 guesses, and there are no words of the type I thought I was looking for left to try! That I can think of anyway. Wondering if I am on the wrong tack.

Oh my, You win for perseverance !
BurntOrange · 03/03/2022 22:06

Got to admit, I was really close so I asked Alexa for synonyms of my closest guess and got the answer that way! Is that cheating?! Grin

SmolCat · 03/03/2022 22:06

Omg I did it! I just suddenly thought “I know it!” And I did!

That one for me was SO hard. But I loved it. Stupid bloody game. 🤣

BertieBotts · 03/03/2022 22:06

Thank you for the new thread!

I let DS1 carry on my game and he got the answer for me in the end :o

Well done! I think I might get second place at 562 🤣
