Semantle episode 3

999 replies

ElegantlyTouched · 08/03/2022 15:15

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!

Typos like 999 really only matter if you're unlucky enough to have them as a guess though, which isn't particularly likely.

JaneJeffer · 11/03/2022 15:16

it's interesting reading your comments to see how your minds* work* don't look too closely, it's not pretty Grin

BabbleBee · 11/03/2022 15:22

Guess 37 and I’ve only got one lucky green word at 723. Not as easy as yesterday for me!

SmolCat · 11/03/2022 15:24

Thought I was going to give up for a moment but I finally found it. I went down a very unrelated track for a while.

Polgara2 · 11/03/2022 16:26

It's taken me way more guesses than normal but I'm at 991 and currently stumped 🤔

Polgara2 · 11/03/2022 16:29

Hmm 998 and I've run out of ideas of words meaning the same thing!

Heronatemygoldfish · 11/03/2022 16:30

Took over a hundred random guesses to get my first green. Bit weird.

I solved Semantle #41 in 150 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.52. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #110. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 20.35 (357/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I'm going to have a coffee break 🤪 then possibly come back and beg if the coffee doesn't help!

BabbleBee · 11/03/2022 16:44

Stumped on 975 now…. And not even sure how I got to this point so I haven’t got a clear way of solving this one!

MrsElm · 11/03/2022 16:52

@Polgara2 998 is so, so close!

Ulysses · 11/03/2022 16:52

I'd given up on the last two Semantle's but managed to get this in under 100. I play between my phone and laptop so I'm not sure but it was the best result in a while.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 11/03/2022 17:54

I solved Semantle #41 in 127 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.23. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #89. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 3.31. semantle.novalis.org/

Actually did it without getting hints for a change!

Polgara2 · 11/03/2022 18:31

I'm going to throw something very soon!
All hints welcome please😭

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 11/03/2022 18:41

@Polgara2

I'm going to throw something very soon! All hints welcome please😭
Have you got any green ones yet, I can PM you.
EdwinsActsOfKindness · 11/03/2022 18:50

@Polgara2

I'm going to throw something very soon! All hints welcome please😭
I’ve sent you a dm Polgara2
Polgara2 · 11/03/2022 19:25

Eureka!
Thanks to @EdwinsActsOfKindness for making me realise I hadn't actually tried an obvious word that I thought I had! Super annoying Angry

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes I had got sooooooo many green words I was going backwards!

Right off to do all the other annoying word games MN has led me to....

Haudyourwheesht · 11/03/2022 19:43

My worst so far. Word 54 was my first green and my first three (all very low) were very unrelated and not obviously linked to the target.

I solved Semantle #41 in 222 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #54. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 51.22 (991/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 11/03/2022 20:06

Some of the similar close words are just ridiculous!

angeldumottschunard · 11/03/2022 20:19

Managed without a hint today, after a slow start

I solved Semantle #41 in 89 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.53. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #72. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 24.86 (694/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

toomuchlaundry · 11/03/2022 21:10

Nightmare, took me 165 goes to get a green! Finally got it at 227

WildImaginings · 11/03/2022 21:29

I got 975 on my third guess and can't get any higher!! This is infuriating 😂

InMySpareTime · 11/03/2022 21:43

Who's >975?

WildImaginings · 11/03/2022 22:25

Got it! Thank you @InMySpareTime ! I was starting to go down the wrong track and that definitely helped me.

Greenhillfaraway · 11/03/2022 23:12

I solved Semantle #41 in 25 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.09. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.16. semantle.novalis.org/

Pleased to have got this after losing my Wordle winning streak. Second day running too. I normally give up very quickly.

BabbleBee · 11/03/2022 23:39

Anyone still up and can give me a hint by PM? I’m stuck on 975…
