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 actually did it! Shock I've looked before and thought it was impossible.

ElegantlyTouched · 10/03/2022 17:42

I solved Semantle #40 in 152 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.17. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #44. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 35.24 (962/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Can I have a clue please?! I’ve got 17 greens, 6 of which are in the 900s, and absolutely everything I’m guessing is now cold 🤦‍♀️ this game is so bloody frustrating

Thanks to @InMySpareTime 's earlier hint I got it. I'd been stuck on 998 for way too long.
I'd like to know if anyone got 907?!

Those are hard! 840 might showcase their work as a ?

angeldumottschunard · 10/03/2022 19:27

Totally stuck, been coming back to this one all day. I've got 8 words in the 900s but can't get higher than 993. Might try again a bit later, I'm not quite ready to give up when I'm so close!

Polgara2 · 10/03/2022 19:31

Thank you for the clues @MrsLargeEmbodied @ElegantlyTouched and @JaneJeffer but I'm still scratching my head 😩
I've got to 929 now but 🤷🏼‍♀️

Polgara2 · 10/03/2022 19:32

I'm gonna know kick myself when I know aren't I 🤔🤪

Thank you I was getting very frustrated. Stupid word.

I solved Semantle #40 in 115 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.17. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #33. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 15.06. semantle.novalis.org/

Polgara2 · 10/03/2022 19:36

Omg I've got it! I definitely need to think more simply!
Thanks all 😊

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 10/03/2022 19:37

702 - how is that in the list of 5,000 most common words??

Haudyourwheesht · 10/03/2022 19:41

Thank you @JaneJeffer. I made that look much harder than it needed to be. I definitely feel the high and cold words are very inconsistent today though.

I solved Semantle #40 in 99 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.66. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 4.71. semantle.novalis.org/

SouperNoodle · 10/03/2022 20:12

780/1000 and I've gone blank

MrsElm · 10/03/2022 20:13

Surely 716 is a typo?
