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!!!

962 is on the right track.

Heronatemygoldfish · 08/03/2022 14:08

After yesterday's 7-guess wonder I'm up to #777 at guess 100 and getting cross with it.

I have no idea what's more annoying - getting it too fast to have a good think, or it stubbornly refusing to solve!

BabbleBee · 08/03/2022 14:09

I moved from 998 to 999 with one letter. And still stuck…. Ffs!

RonniePickering · 08/03/2022 14:13

Aah Babble you're so close 😑

BabbleBee · 08/03/2022 14:14

And raging haha

ToodlesMcGee · 08/03/2022 14:14

okay I'm on to 985 now, with 969 and 965 in the bag. Am I close?

RonniePickering · 08/03/2022 14:16

Yes.

riverpebbles · 08/03/2022 14:17

Finally got it but EXTREMELY annoyed that I had 442 literally 200 guesses ago.

ToodlesMcGee · 08/03/2022 14:17

Got it! 425 guesses. First word in the top 1000 was guess #38, penultimate guess was 998/1000. Wowee.

pathetic78 · 08/03/2022 14:18

STILL stuck on 945…

BowerOfBramble · 08/03/2022 14:22

for the love of Pete will someone please PM me a clue, I haven't progressed since this morning and I'm starting to hate centre parcs and all things 786

Doublechins · 08/03/2022 14:23

@riverpebbles I got that because of you. I also had 442 a long time ago!

I solved Semantle #38 in 282 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.52. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.11. semantle.novalis.org/

@picklemewalnuts

Grape what happens when it's 988 in every direction ?
Lots of things that give me colder answers Grin

I’m having a mare today! Thank you though I’ll keep trying with that in mind

BabbleBee · 08/03/2022 14:27

Centre parcs?!

SlightlyJaded · 08/03/2022 14:27

Pleeeeease can someone pm me a (relevant) clue in the 900s. Still stuck on 879 which is probably completely irrelevant

ToniLaRoni · 08/03/2022 14:29

@BabbleBee

Centre parcs?!
Bum sex?!
BowerOfBramble · 08/03/2022 14:30

I've messaged you @SlightlyJaded not that it's done me any good!

Bytrgrewd · 08/03/2022 14:31

Thank god for that! I got green on my first guess but still took me ages!

I solved Semantle #38 in 131 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 23.55 (216/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 24.87 (442/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

SlightlyJaded · 08/03/2022 14:31

THANK YOU @BowerOfBramble

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 08/03/2022 14:32

I messaged you Bower

BabbleBee · 08/03/2022 14:34

Can I have a hint please for the correct answer. I’m unbelievably stuck on 999!!! Hovering over give up!

Bytrgrewd · 08/03/2022 14:34

@picklemewalnuts

Souper, if it's any help, your word plus the target word makes me think about centerparcs. Neither word is bum, or sex, for those wondering. Grin
Are you sure you didn’t mean 905?
Bytrgrewd · 08/03/2022 14:35

Try different endings! Soon you will be finishing!
ToniLaRoni · 08/03/2022 14:41

Center Parcs hasn't helped me yet.

Both cold GrinWink

BabbleBee · 08/03/2022 14:41
