Semantle episode 3

Somehow we've almost filled 2 threads already so here is thread 3. I still need a distraction from the news, and Semantle certainly fits the bill.

To understand what I'm on about followthis 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, thread two here.

Enjoy, just don't plan on getting anything else done at the same time!

I solved Semantle #39 in 28 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 30.11 (673/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

How different to yesterday 164 guesses, lol?!.

This is my 7th game and my lowest score so far (my 1st go was 42 guesses, iirc). Yesterday was my worst.

I solved Semantle #39 in 91 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.68. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #19. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 14.51. semantle.novalis.org/

Dh got it but only from my prior guesses of course!

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 09/03/2022 19:35

325? Really? This has puzzled me more than yesterday's target word 😂

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 09/03/2022 19:47

I'm stuck on 976, can someone please PM me a hint thanks.

INeedNewShoes · 09/03/2022 19:59

I've sent you a PM @AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes

If you want a more obvious hint, let me know...

Alwaystired99 · 09/03/2022 19:59

13 greens and still only on 707. Aaargh. @Snorklette after the day at work I've had I was ready for gin (or masses of Valium) at 11am. This is not making me feel any better!

ZiaMcnab · 09/03/2022 20:08

Well, I kept finding words in the 200s-400s (my 9th guess was 358) then going back to cold when I spotted a clue from @BettyBootsie (at 13.46!) which made the lightbulb go off somehow (still can’t see how 358 is at all related!) so thanks very much for that, I’ve been trying on and off since mid-morning (stupid work got in the way abbot, but still!). This is a nice time of day to finish it, I’d say.

I solved Semantle #39 in 36 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.60. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 26.63 (234/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Alwaystired99 · 09/03/2022 20:09

Now on 30 greens and a high of 944. I'm not giving up like yesterday.

ZiaMcnab · 09/03/2022 20:12

Oh I’ve just seen 325! Perfect evidence of how fricking unfair and outrageous this game is! 😂

Etinoxaurus · 09/03/2022 20:28

How are you all seeing word 325?
Powered through and got it in 88 today- I’ve always given up in grumpy frustration until today.

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 09/03/2022 20:31

Pmsl at 325 🤣

toomuchlaundry · 09/03/2022 20:33

325 is not as good as dogging from yesterday!

toomuchlaundry · 09/03/2022 21:34

Is there always a really random word everyday?

Etinoxaurus · 09/03/2022 21:39

French anyone?
I’m good!! But not good enough to see where to click to give up!

Argh, cannot get past 991. Can someone please just confirm for me if it's a synonym of this word?
