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!

@fuckwhatshouldido

I can’t get my head round this game at all. It makes no sense! Why do different versions of the word (travel/travelled) have such vastly different scores? I don’t get it 🤦‍♀️
I think it's because the different forms may not be used in the same contexts. In some cases one might be a noun form and the other mainly used as an adjective or verb for instance

943 is a synonym for the word - don't get distracted by the others

ToodlesMcGee · 08/03/2022 16:53

Okay... is the centre parks/anal a mumsnet thing?? I'm going to need an explanation here! Grin

MadisonAvenue · 08/03/2022 16:56

I could really do with a clue to get from 962, I’ve tried all synonyms and antonyms and I’m totally stuck. Please help!

rumred · 08/03/2022 17:00

I'm stuck on 962 also. It's driving me to distraction

InMySpareTime · 08/03/2022 17:01

@MadisonAvenue what is all the non-962 doing to the 962?

Wallawallakoala · 08/03/2022 17:10

Thank you @bettybootsie now on 968! How can same words with different endings be so far away from each other! I'm done in haha

Wallawallakoala · 08/03/2022 17:10

Clue please please

Wallawallakoala · 08/03/2022 17:13

994!

HeadacheGrey · 08/03/2022 17:18

I solved Semantle #38 in 362 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.40. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 58.56 (998/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/

Thank God (well BowerOfBramble) for that Grin
That was my worse day yet!!

HadEnoughOfBears · 08/03/2022 17:23

BowerOfBramble · 08/03/2022 17:26

So glad I've redeemed myself by helping!

InMySpareTime · 08/03/2022 17:40
