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!!!

Well done stompy! I got the day before yesterday’s v quickly and since then have struggled. Thank goodness I’ve got today’s - thought I was going mad. If anyone needs help send me a message.

picklemewalnuts · 04/03/2022 09:25

Well done, Bower! gives me hope...

My trouble yesterday was that I had words related to colour, and words related to caution, and couldn't find and intercept at all. Many thanks to those who dm-ed me and got me there!

Definitely now in the camp of 'what the he'll am I going to do for the rest of the day???'

I had the colour/flamboyant words. I think the caution words would have thrown me off!

RunningFromInsanity · 04/03/2022 09:43

I got it in 25!! Flipping heck

I solved Semantle #34 in 25 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.98. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 12.44. semantle.novalis.org/

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 04/03/2022 09:44

I’m still cold and 132 guesses in.

If someone fancies giving me a hint to get into green, I’d be much obliged!

I didn't realise till I looked at the word list that quite highly ranked words would include antonyms! I'm not surprised you got stuck.

I got a green, 425, after 18 tries.
61 words later and I’m still no higher than 425.

@MadisonAvenue

I got a green, 425, after 18 tries. 61 words later and I’m still no higher than 425.
I'm not surprised, 425 is less than helpful.

Would you like me to dm you #1?

@ElegantlyTouched Please! I’m going round in circles, trying all themes and getting nowhere.

GiveMummyTheWhizzer · 04/03/2022 10:29

Stuck on 957 for ages. Can anyone PM me a clue or one a tiny bit higher please?

I’ve messaged you
SouperNoodle · 04/03/2022 10:41

I guessed 996/1000 randomly and then got the answer by looking up synonyms 😁 44 tries today.

SmolCat · 04/03/2022 10:41

Phew, got it. Much better than yesterday!

GiveMummyTheWhizzer · 04/03/2022 10:42

Eastnorthwest · 04/03/2022 11:01

Thank you Bernadette I got it in one Grin
I'm always overcomplicating it, I should know by now that the words are always fairly common words.

Choosea · 04/03/2022 11:11

Got it! And in less than my average number of guesses which is currently 195!
Similarly to a PP, I think I overcomplicate it.

Heronatemygoldfish · 04/03/2022 11:54

Phew. Got there in the end. Now I can have lunch!

I think I love this game and at the same time find it very frustrating

OopNorfDahnSarf · 04/03/2022 12:01

Sqirrelnutkin - try all the words with the same stem as 998
