Semantle 4

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!

@SleeplessInSemantle I think you win the internet today with that username. It is awesome! Grin

@Drawerofcrap

Could someone give me a high green word that's more obviously relevant please I'm so stuck I've not had another green word for several hundred guesses. Thanks 😊
Do you still need a hand? What are your other high green words?

I solved Semantle #45 in 37 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.41. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.20. semantle.novalis.org/

Looking at the list of words, I have absolutely no idea how I got this!

Have a look at a 961 and see if anything comes to mind.

Well, I wasn’t able to engage with it much today (stupid job!) so just chucked in random words at random intervals but am now 70 guesses in and feeling pretty hopeless as the only greens I’ve found are 157, 328 & 695. I can see how those are related to each other, except I probably can’t because I can’t for the life of me think of anything else! 🤪

ZiaMcnab · 15/03/2022 20:57

Ooo, I’ve just got 988! Is that helpful? Should I think about things that link to it and 328?

InMySpareTime · 15/03/2022 21:03

What would a cartoon 328 be? @ZiaMcnab

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 15/03/2022 21:04

Learnt a new word... number 220!

Might be helpful to think about the context of 988 and then other words within that context?
InMySpareTime · 15/03/2022 21:06

I have a physics degree and didn't know 220!

ZiaMcnab · 15/03/2022 21:07

Oooo, thanks @InMySpareTime, that’s a good cryptic clue! I’ll see where I can get to with that

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 15/03/2022 21:07

Omg. I want to give up. Can somebody please, pretty please with cherries on the top help me.
My highest words are
841
640
542

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 15/03/2022 21:09

Got it! Wahoo

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 15/03/2022 21:11

I solved Semantle #45 in 41 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 29.48 (841/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 12.04. semantle.novalis.org/

FelicityBeedle · 15/03/2022 21:11

Stuck on 857 and only got that from hints here!

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 15/03/2022 21:12

@Idroppedthescrewinthetuna
