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!

What other numbers do you have x

@JaneJeffer

Maybe the opposite of 960 in Scotland?

The only thing 960 makes me think of is and how it links to the target word is Christmas.. so you are 960 when you do this. That's just me though and probably very irrelevant

Wallawallakoala · 13/03/2022 14:51

945 would be a way of doing the target word

JaneJeffer · 13/03/2022 14:52

@BabbleBee if your not full of 906 you might do 1000 if you're Scottish Grin

*you're

VikingNorthUtsire · 13/03/2022 14:54

Ah I managed to get 982 then @ErrolTheDragon's hint got me to the solution

I solved Semantle #43 in 91 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.94. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 67.51 (998/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

JaneJeffer · 13/03/2022 14:54

960 rather

Playing for the first time

All my guesses are "cold"

I got from 819 to 953 but I’m now stuck again Confused. This one is confusing!

952 even! 🙈
InMySpareTime · 13/03/2022 15:23

At an event, what's before 952 in the itinerary?

FooFighter99 · 13/03/2022 15:32

No? Not that I know of, other people have PM’d me 😢 stuck at 951 now but still floundering!!

InMySpareTime · 13/03/2022 15:35

An action must happen before the 951 can begin...

fancyfrogs · 13/03/2022 15:47

I solved Semantle #43 in 111 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.87. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.04. semantle.novalis.org/
Had loads of green before getting there eventually 🙌🏻

Got it! I managed 993 before seeing your post but was then stumped again :-)
FooFighter99 · 13/03/2022 15:50

I give up, can someone please just PM me the answer? 🤣

JaneJeffer · 13/03/2022 15:56

@FooFighter99 I just sent you a hint. Finally managed to send.

BabbleBee · 13/03/2022 16:42

FFS that was literally dragged out of me. I’d got variations of the target word and I’m still a bit baffled how it links to some of the green words I had!

I solved Semantle #43 in 140 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.58. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #25. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.16 (910/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

BabbleBee · 13/03/2022 16:42

Thank you for the hints and PMs. That was painful!!

TakeMeToYourLiar · 13/03/2022 16:52

Any chance of a hint, my highest is 960, but words I think are similar to that are comd?!?

Writer555 · 13/03/2022 16:54

I just gave up!! I had a lot of green ones but just couldn't understand what they had to do with the target word :(

BabbleBee · 13/03/2022 16:56

I got stuck there too. Can’t see the link! Will PM.
