Semantle episode 3

[ElegantlyTouched]

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!

535!!! wow. I give up when I stop thinking of words to try, tends to be ~ 200

I solved Semantle #43 in 40 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.39. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.91. semantle.novalis.org/

@OopNorfDahnSarf

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

Doh!!! Of course!

Am never looking at Reddit for help again!

I solved Semantle #43 in 192 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.01. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #24. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 56.37 (995/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Ugh, rubbish.

Thanks for the clues so far but I'm still not getting it. This is the hardest one so far for me. Please could someone pm me with the letter that the actual word starts with. Getting desperate

Stuck on 981 and don't know where to go from here

First time player, got it in 39

I can’t even get into green today!

I’m stuck on 959 and would appreciate a clue!

It's driving me mad. Remind me why I play this game again?

Thanks so much for the tips pm'd to me and the ones on here. Weirdly I thought I'd tried the actual word already but maybe I spelt it wrong.

@AliasGrape have you seen my clue to RoxyLoxy a few posts above?

OMFG found it in 271, my second worst so far. Thank god that’s over!!

Got it! Annoyed as all my close words suggested a certain form of word and it wasn’t!

I did thank you. Am trying around that idea. Though most of the words that come into my head are rude

Oh actually it just popped into my head replying to you - I’d tried a few synonyms for
That (which should have been higher I think!)

Thanks again!
