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!

Uuugggghhhhh well thinking along the lines suggested by @InMySpareTime and @EdwinsActsOfKindness has got me 997 which I was so convinced would be right because THERE ARE NO OTHER WORDS! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I gave up but appreciate all the hints, my brain isn’t working well today.

Thanks for the username love too Wink

Seems like a word you'd get straightaway, rather than circling for ages before netting it.

omg, is the mystery theme the game associated with throwing #974s? FFS. I knew that animal was some weird part of the theme/answer.

MrsElm · 15/03/2022 21:26

@ZiaMcnab there are no 998's in the answer.

Oops, that should say 997's 😬

ZiaMcnab · 15/03/2022 21:32

OH MY GOD thank you @MrsElm that gave it to me! How the hell did I not think of that word on my own?! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Oh well, thanks so much for your all the hints and help everyone

I solved Semantle #45 in 104 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.15. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #32. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 12.04. semantle.novalis.org/

(My worst one so far!)

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 15/03/2022 21:41

I solved Semantle #45 in 50 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.86. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 38.66 (981/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Was stuck for ages then saw a few hints here, thanks! Although not sure how some of the words I got earlier relate to the answer.

Drawerofcrap · 15/03/2022 21:54

Would someone pm me a high clue/ green word please 🙏🏻

ZiaMcnab · 15/03/2022 21:59

@Drawerofcrap have you got any green words yet?

Drawerofcrap · 15/03/2022 22:04

Very early hours this morning, but nothing much since.
Got 562, 302, 294, 278 and cannot think of any more words. I've tried word association, synonyms, antonyms, words that would fit in a sentence with the words we've got, etc, and I'm just getting further away. Been at this since 12.30am, lol. I've been guessing random sports and words since with no luck apart from #610

JaneJeffer · 15/03/2022 22:09

Sorry to say those are all pretty useless @Drawerofcrap got any on a different theme?

ZiaMcnab · 15/03/2022 22:10

Ah, ok @Drawerofcrap none of those are terribly helpful, I can see why you’re stuck! Will pm you a higher green word now

NaiceLeftie · 16/03/2022 00:02

Logged back on 2 mins b4 the end! I would never have got that! Grin. Oh well, better luck with the next one. Thanks anyway!

ElegantlyTouched · 16/03/2022 00:08

I solved Semantle #46 in 34 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.32. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 56.85 (998/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

No idea what I'll do for the rest of the day. Get ready for today's interview, I suppose!
