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!

Thanks @ElegantlyTouched

Any help please? I have 994, 992, 938, 925 and would like to know 225 today 😊

I had the same sort of words and they’re not related to the answer very well. The word doesn’t have the ending that those words might suggest. The clue I was given was think smaller and quieter.

Got it immediately after I posted my last post thanks to a clue from @ElegantlyTouched.

I solved Semantle #43 in 116 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.03. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #22. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 36.52 (849/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Thanks Bytrgrewd Mind is still a blank. It will come though.

Another 'what the heck?' one with some of the words!
I solved Semantle #43 in 150 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.28. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #38. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 56.37 (995/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

@Greenhillfaraway - will dm you

I solved Semantle #44 in 36 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.45. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #21. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 34.96 (974/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Quickest ever for me (not usually awake now!!)

I solved Semantle #44 in 75 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.94. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #20. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 15.90. semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #44 in 65 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.82. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.06 (727/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #44 in 83 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -9.54. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #27. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.39. semantle.novalis.org/

The greens I got fior this one made much more sense than yesterday's.

What the heck are 997 and 996?

I solved Semantle #44 in 124 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.67. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 24.60 (697/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

997 is a type of the target word. More commonly used in the US I believe. 996 I have no idea.

I solved Semantle #44 in 33 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.39. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.80 (780/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Complete fluke but I had to boast about it!!
I solved Semantle #44 in 4 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.09. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 3.27. semantle.novalis.org/

Fluke here too.
I solved Semantle #44 in 29 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 29.69 (904/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.72 (629/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Best one yet here.

I solved Semantle #44 in 64 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.65. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.81. semantle.novalis.org/

996 is apparently an American word to describe the condition of a particular type of the target word in a specific context.

I've never heard anyone use the word 996 in any context, shows the bias of the source I suppose.

What was yesterdays word?

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz if you click the ? On the top right of the Semantle page, yesterday's word is at the bottom.

I solved Semantle #44 in 66 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.78. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 28.90 (879/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Come over to the new thread (link upthread)

I solved Semantle #44 in 72 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.78. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #35. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.78. semantle.novalis.org/
