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!

@TakeMeToYourLiar what does the first 960 do? Perhaps in a smaller context.

InMySpareTime · 13/03/2022 16:58

He was 1000ed with 960s...

Polgara2 · 13/03/2022 17:03

Ok I'm stuck at 888! Can't even get in the 900s today 🤨

TakeMeToYourLiar · 13/03/2022 17:05

I swear my 960 must be different as that makes no sense to me

TakeMeToYourLiar · 13/03/2022 17:08

Got it! Thank you

InMySpareTime · 13/03/2022 17:08

@Polgara2 if you're the originator of 888, when it comes to its conclusion, what do you do first at the allotted time?

Polgara2 · 13/03/2022 17:11

Oh gawd that makes my brain hurt @InMySpareTime 😂 ok let me think 🤔

InMySpareTime · 13/03/2022 17:12

In the hallway

Polgara2 · 13/03/2022 17:15

Aha got it thank you @InMySpareTime !!
I am struggling to see the connection with some of my words though! Very loose!

@JaneJeffer

Maybe the opposite of 960 in Scotland?
Thank you got it from this!
JaneJeffer · 13/03/2022 17:41

It was @ElegantlyTouched who made me think of that clue Grin

HoundOfTheBasketballs · 13/03/2022 17:43

Today's was tough!

I solved Semantle #43 in 314 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.25. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 26.94. semantle.novalis.org/

WildImaginings · 13/03/2022 19:17

38, I think this is my best yet!

fuckwhatshouldido · 13/03/2022 19:31

Took me longer than it should have considering my first 2 guesses were 995 and 998 but still my best ever!

I solved Semantle #43 in 22 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 56.37 (995/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 63.22 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Cornishmumofone · 13/03/2022 20:20

Found it in 84... which was a miracle considering I spent a lot of time pondering 784, 442, 344 and 546.

Drawerofcrap · 13/03/2022 20:26

Missed yesterday's as I was busy and can't get above 837 today. Any higher clues appreciated 🙏🏻

ElegantlyTouched · 13/03/2022 20:40
