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’ve got 999,998, 997, 995, 990 and 41 other green words….I feel like I’m going to be circling this word forever!

Thanks for the clues

Oh for heavens sake, I just had to remove a letter - got it!

I found yesterday's interesting in as much as we always say on here 'don't be too specific' and yet it was. Spent too much time bobbing around the answer.

And a question re the one before, manager. How is that related to electronics? Since I was finishing it with mins to spare I had a nosy on Reddit and someone said it was linked to music, politics and electronics. The 'politics' threw me anyway as I was faffing around in Parliament (as it were) but I still don't understand the mmelectronics link. Any ideas? (Serves me right for looking elsewhere than here!)

Errol Thank you, that’s got me to 987

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 13/03/2022 10:01

I managed to get my farthest away word today... -10.82.

AngeloMysterioso · 13/03/2022 10:04

I solved Semantle #43 in 241 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #30. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 40.19 (928/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Given that my first green answer was 919 I’m amazed I ever got there!

OopNorfDahnSarf · 13/03/2022 10:11

Elegantly touched. Was it the speaker clue that was related to electronics and music? Maybe the reddit was a day old.

BowerOfBramble · 13/03/2022 10:13

Can somebody PM me a clue relating to my top words: 871, 812, 811?

Really very stuck today.

GiveMummyTheWhizzer · 13/03/2022 10:21

Still stuck on 996 and over 200 guesses in.

I also have 988 970 967 963 959 and about 30 more greens 😂

Please can someone PM me a hint or one of the remaining 3 words 🙏🏻

ThePontiacBandit · 13/03/2022 10:25

I’m stuck at 959 with 118 guesses. I’m in the right area but stuck!

Mocha1978 · 13/03/2022 10:25

I was stuck in the 980s then my 11 year old daughter got it! We enjoy having a go together each day. Lost the stats but was roughly 200 guesses. Yes smaller scale is the way to go for people following the wrong trail like i was for a while.

BowerOfBramble · 13/03/2022 10:36

With help from kind posters I’ve got as far as 972, 945 and some related words. But failing to find any other high words relating to where that might happen!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 13/03/2022 10:58
