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!!!

What was yesterday's word?

I solved Semantle #34 in 69 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.73. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 12.69. semantle.novalis.org/

Phew - I can get on with the rest of my day now!

@BertieBotts you are completely right and I have just had a load of cold guesses!

Ah thanks!

I’m stuck on 961! Got loads of similar ones last night but honestly this is a theme I don’t know much about (wish I did…)

Caranjo · 04/03/2022 08:46

Got today's in 74.

squirrelnutkins1 · 04/03/2022 08:58

I just can't get it! I'm on 998!

squirrelnutkins1 · 04/03/2022 08:58

@DieschoensteZeitdesJahres

I had a dream about Semantle last night and I was typing in the same word over and over.

When I woke this morning, I thought I would try it as my first word. It was THE word. 😳

Wow!!
BowerOfBramble · 04/03/2022 09:02

I’m at 977… still very vague about which way to head

I'm on 989 and can't get there either. This game is so annoying 🤦🏻‍♀️
BowerOfBramble · 04/03/2022 09:05

Any hints welcome

squirrelnutkins1 · 04/03/2022 09:07

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 04/03/2022 09:08

Dm if you want hints

picklemewalnuts · 04/03/2022 09:15

I'm on 977. I'm stepping away for a while as I can't think of any related words!

BowerOfBramble · 04/03/2022 09:16

Me too @picklemewalnuts can’t think of any other related words I haven’t already tried

Snap! Though I think I know what it ought to be, just can't think of any more words for it.

I got it is 16 today after struggling for hours yesterday! Total luck of course, but I am still feeling chuffed.
