Semantle thread 3 is almost full and we don't seem to be running out of steam, so here's a nice new shiny thread for those, like me, who are mad enough to start the new game at Midnight.

The game of Semantle can be found by folowing this 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 our previous thread is here. We tend to use the threads to rant about how we're getting nowhere, celebrate our successes and laugh about the previous day's top 1000 but please, no spoilers. Subtle hints only here; use DMs for more obvious clues.

Enjoy, and forget about the News, the housework and the rest of your life for a while!

I'm still stuck on 992 and after a couple of decent days think I'm about to give up on this one.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 13/03/2022 21:19

I'm stuck on 937 if anyone can help!

Have you got 991? 992 is not great.

Checking in for tmrw's game. Can't believe I forgot to finish Saturday's. That's the 1st day I've missed since starting almost 2 weeks ago so it ruined my streak, lol.
