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'm never getting this!

Wallawallakoala · 08/03/2022 13:27

I keep trying to think about center parcs haha

Wallawallakoala · 08/03/2022 13:28

Oh wow just got 162 what is happening

DoorLion · 08/03/2022 13:30

All mine are really abstract! I have got 971, 951, 917, 893, 869, 865 and many others and they are all abstract kind of words. I know people have said there is another more concrete meaning but all my guesses like that are cold - I'm on 317 guesses...

SmolCat · 08/03/2022 13:30

I didn’t enjoy today’s. I agree with @RoxieLoxy that 943 is one of the more helpful words.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 08/03/2022 13:32

OK can anyone dm me a clue?!

picklemewalnuts · 08/03/2022 13:33

Sorry Doorlion, I wouldn't have got it from that theme!

I'm going to stop because my hints are clearly unhelpful 🤣

I solved Semantle #38 in 130 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.39. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 65.29 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Sudden breakthrough and got it

BabbleBee · 08/03/2022 13:34

Flipping heck! 998 and going backwards Grin

DoorLion · 08/03/2022 13:35

Now I have got a word that has lots of ???s instead of a number, with similarity of 22.73- it says it is an unusual word and not in the wordlist for the top 1000 but is still similar, I can't see how that would be...

riverpebbles · 08/03/2022 13:36

Currently on my 482nd guess for today's. Feels IMPOSSIBLE.

2022sucksalready · 08/03/2022 13:36

Haven’t posted on these threads yet, but I blame you all for introducing me to this nightmare of a game! Grin

@MrsElm I’m clearly thinking along your train of thought, as my top two are also 994 and 991. I’ve been there since guess 45, and I’m now in the high 100s Confused and I did so well yesterday…….

riverpebbles · 08/03/2022 13:40

Got it in 31 yesterday.

Ulysses · 08/03/2022 13:42

I solved Semantle #38 in 64 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.55. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 0.59. semantle.novalis.org/

HeadacheGrey · 08/03/2022 13:45

This is peeing me right off Angry

DoorLion · 08/03/2022 13:45

OMG suddenly on 996 out of nowhere.

FooFighter99 · 08/03/2022 13:46

I solved Semantle #38 in 142 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.93. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #33. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 18.04. semantle.novalis.org/

Thank FUCK for that!

picklemewalnuts · 08/03/2022 13:47

Babble, 998 and you're there! It's a variation.

ToodlesMcGee · 08/03/2022 13:50

Only got to 911 so far and I'm on 285 guesses!

BabbleBee · 08/03/2022 13:52

@picklemewalnuts

@picklemewalnuts another 30 guesses tells me I’m really not there ConfusedGrin
SlightlyJaded · 08/03/2022 13:52

I need a clue please. Anything in the 900s that is on the right track. I am still stuck on 879

2022newyearnewname · 08/03/2022 13:54

That one was evil. I thought it was a joke as the answers we had here were so varied. I had to check here if it had been done.

DoorLion · 08/03/2022 13:54

At last!
Well that was a journey. A ridiculous journey.

I solved Semantle #38 in 406 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #28. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 46.43 (995/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

ToniLaRoni · 08/03/2022 13:57

Stuck on 962 and going backwards.

I have 929, 853 and 601 which are all pretty similar.

But ugh.
