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!

Your clue has done it for me @squirrelnutkins1 - thanks! I thought I'd tried that word already but can't have done.

I solved Semantle #40 in 107 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.24. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #31. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.02 (245/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

And 986??

Thank you!

I didn’t have any of the words people were using to give clues but had 901 and immediately got it from that. Would never have without that clue!

OopNorfDahnSarf · 10/03/2022 20:56

I think I got lucky today. I followed a different theme with 425 and 532 and then the answer. I didn't get stuck in the multiple synonyms in the 900s. Unlike other days.

ZiaMcnab · 10/03/2022 21:10

Ugh, I’m so stuck! I have 967 and 983 and those are basically synonymous but nothing I’m trying that’s even tangentially related is getting anything higher than 18.97 😩 Can someone please give or email me a chunky hint?!

What are those people, what do they spend their time doing?
ZiaMcnab · 10/03/2022 21:35

Oh thanks, @LovedayCL, I’ll give some of those a try, but think I might still be in totally the wrong area 😵‍💫

LovedayCL · 10/03/2022 21:41

@ZiaMcnab

Oh thanks, *@LovedayCL*, I’ll give some of those a try, but think I might still be in totally the wrong area 😵‍💫
Think about what 967’s actually do most of the time (ie not a whole lot!)
ZiaMcnab · 10/03/2022 21:47

I feel like I’ve tried all of the possible things a 967 is supposed to do but maybe I’m giving them too much credit. 😂

You are Grin I can PM something more obvious if you like?
ZiaMcnab · 10/03/2022 21:55

@LovedayCL yes please! It’s too close to my bedtime for my brain to function any better than this!

I had 351 and 951 but didn't get the connection as quickly as I should have!

Done!

BertieBotts · 10/03/2022 22:08

Oh no, I'm going to lose, I started too late today!

I have 980, 920, 863, 772 if anyone has clues for me?

BertieBotts · 10/03/2022 22:09

Oh never mind, I have it :o

ZiaMcnab · 10/03/2022 22:10

I got there at last, thanks to @LovedayCL. Am now feeling enraged by the closest words (whhhhyyyyyy?!!) and even more so by some of my cold ones but thank god I can forget about it till tomorrow, when I’ll spend all day enraged by it no doubt!

I solved Semantle #40 in 57 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.70. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 4.50. semantle.novalis.org/

LovedayCL · 10/03/2022 22:11

The closest words took me further away!

ZiaMcnab · 10/03/2022 22:13

I can imagine, the nearest list is, once again, utterly baffling and infuriating!

JaneJeffer · 10/03/2022 22:31

At least my clues are improving Grin I can't figure out if this game is good or bad for the brain!

AngeloMysterioso · 11/03/2022 00:10

Nice quick one for a change!

I solved Semantle #41 in 25 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.88. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 27.56 (808/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

RoxieLoxy · 11/03/2022 00:15

141 for me. Really want to comment further on this one but I'll wait til tomorrow Grin

Choux · 11/03/2022 00:20

60 guesses in and not a single green word. Not seeing anything much in my top three scoring words either. This could take a while...

Oh quick for me too! Quite disappointed as I like to mull it over on and off during the day, thought i’d put a few in before sleep and got it in 37! That’ll serve me right for not waiting until the morning. I’m enjoying this since seeing it on here,thank you, wordle seems too basic now but me and my daughter still enjoy having a go together at it in the morning.

I solved Semantle #41 in 37 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.51. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 19.48 (221/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 11/03/2022 00:27

Couple of glasses of wine too 🥳

I solved Semantle #41 in 63 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -6.95. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #50. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 43.43 (981/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

MadisonAvenue · 11/03/2022 00:27

Quick one today

I solved Semantle #41 in 90 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.73. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #32. My penultimate guess had a similarity of -4.38. semantle.novalis.org/
