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!

Not as quick as yesterday but not too bad:

I solved Semantle #46 in 56 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.38. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.04. semantle.novalis.org/

@InMySpareTime I am definitely using it like that, and have lots of related lower greens, but can't seem to get past it. 😕
Please may I have a hint?

InMySpareTime · 16/03/2022 07:37

@MrsElm where are you looking? This is one where looking out of the window might actually help!

Interested in this thread?

Lucky day!

I solved Semantle #46 in 9 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.48. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 30.12 (671/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

@InMySpareTime thank you! I'm fortunate in that what I can see out of my window right now is actually the answer from a few days ago.
But applying your hint generally has got me to a bit further to 986.
Have to go to work now but will keep trying.

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 16/03/2022 07:46

There was a word today that wasn't allowed (I don't know the word...) I thought it would have been a green answer (linked to the answer). Will say what it was tomorrow 👀

Snorklette · 16/03/2022 07:48

Checking back in! Back to work now so it’ll have to wait until tonight. The anticipation!

@Bytrgrewd

Whoops bit of a fluke 🤣 I got Semantle 46 on my first guess!
Wow!!!
Aroundtheworldin80moves · 16/03/2022 07:49

Yesterday's word... how did everyone actually find it in the end? I had moon as a guess, leading to crescent and then to circle.

It's more general than specific if that helps

I started with rainbow (which was a green), tried "colours" and "nature" (cold) then tried "arched" and got another green, that led to the answer.
BowerOfBramble · 16/03/2022 07:55

Blimey I wasn’t expecting that especially after yesterday. Weird to get just one green (517) and when all of the obvious words I relate to that were cold I went straight to The Word. This game!

I solved Semantle #46 in 15 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.39. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 2.25.

BowerOfBramble · 16/03/2022 07:59

Not sure I dare Google what 474 is… Grin

SouperNoodle · 16/03/2022 08:08

Morning all.

Is everyone as frustrated as I am today? 😂 I'm on 847

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 16/03/2022 08:10

Nice and logical today (55 tries).

Yesterday: I had circus, infinity and ring. That eventually got me there with lots of random irrelevant guessing too.

InMySpareTime · 16/03/2022 08:17

@SouperNoodle 847 is on the right lines but pick any piece of it.

BowerOfBramble · 16/03/2022 08:18

Yesterday I got box and inside and then nothing for ages and ages. Hints helped me think about the shape of the box and then I got corner which was REALLY HIGH and obviously in some ways completely unhelpful. Finally thought about what might go in the flipping box and got ring then circle.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 16/03/2022 08:22

I think today's word is one people will think they've guessed already so won't chance it again.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 16/03/2022 08:23

As in tried already today

SouperNoodle · 16/03/2022 08:25

I got it 😁 I always need hints lol

ErrolTheDragon · 16/03/2022 08:27

I got thrown off track yesterday because 'round' was cold.Hmm

One thing that's quite funny is trying to avoid the solution or directly related words in some of the clues some days. Today we can say 'you're on the right track', a couple of days ago we were studiously avoiding it. Grin

It doesn't matter if you repeat a guess.

I had moon as well, then from there to rotate and turn (with a few wrong turnings before that about space)
BestIsWest · 16/03/2022 08:36

I solved Semantle #46 in 43 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.39. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #20. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 13.62. semantle.novalis.org/

Yesterday my first green guess was ball.
