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!

@rumred

How cloud and thick relate to the word I can't fathom
I got those and it stumped me for a bit

@SouperNoodle message me with the highest words u have and will send u a clue

Haudyourwheesht · 08/03/2022 19:08

My God. This is so frustrating. The 943 clue got it for me. My second guess was 855. Shock

I solved Semantle #38 in 131 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.48. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 33.85 (933/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

@Spudlet

I live in a very 952 area and I have entered so many words that I think are related 🙈😂 Getting nowhere…!
It doesn't matter where you live.

@Heronatemygoldfish

I've only just made it to 881. This one's driving me nuts.
I got 881 on my 11th guess

Now on 264 Confused

ElegantlyTouched · 08/03/2022 19:12

Finally got a green on my 90th guess: #967. Now have 3 greens, all variations of the same word, highest 980. I might actually get there at some point...

I mean I'm on my 264th guess. This hurts.

MadisonAvenue · 08/03/2022 19:13

[quote InMySpareTime]@MadisonAvenue what is all the non-962 doing to the 962?[/quote]
Thanks, I’m now up to 988.

MadisonAvenue · 08/03/2022 19:15

Finally!
I solved Semantle #38 in 94 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.08. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 20.08. semantle.novalis.org/

Tbh there are very few circumstances where I can see how that sort of word relates to the answer.
MzHz · 08/03/2022 19:33

Argh 997!

Help please 🙏🏼:)

Wallawallakoala · 08/03/2022 19:38

I'm losing my mind

Spudlet · 08/03/2022 19:38

Omg, I don’t have a clue. This is no fun.

JaneJeffer · 08/03/2022 19:39

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz

This one wasn't fun.
None of them are. This game is a torture device.
ElegantlyTouched · 08/03/2022 19:39

@ErrolTheDragon - that doesn't fill me with glee! 🤣

Spudlet · 08/03/2022 19:41

I hit upon word 952 on guess 83. I’m now up to guess 246 and am no closer….

Wallawallakoala · 08/03/2022 19:41

Please could tell me how or if 786 is related or similar in any way at all to 994

Wallawallakoala · 08/03/2022 19:42

@janejeffer it really is 😂😂

SouperNoodle · 08/03/2022 19:42

Stuck at 880 all day! Can someone dm a hint please? Xx

Heronatemygoldfish · 08/03/2022 19:44

My words are starting to look like a bad SF novel but I still can't get beyond 986. I've also got 980, 947, 904 and 902.

help, please?

ElegantlyTouched · 08/03/2022 19:44

@JaneJeffer - tbf I'm not sure I ever claimed it would be fun. I just promised a distraction from the news (and everything else you might have in your life 😂)

Spudlet · 08/03/2022 19:44

FFS. I gave up and now I’m really irritated because how the hell are 952 and 953 related?!

JaneJeffer · 08/03/2022 19:45

Why do you hate us so @ElegantlyTouched? Grin

Wallawallakoala · 08/03/2022 19:47

The most random mix of words!?

Semantle episode 3
JaneJeffer · 08/03/2022 19:48

@Heronatemygoldfish try words like 947 and ignore 980 - it's a wild goose chase.
