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 solved Semantle #46 in 23 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.87. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 42.34 (962/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Much better day today!

@ErrolTheDragon

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

On that day, I listed my top green numbers and was about to ask if I was on the right track when the penny dropped 😂

Glad I tried it before posting that message!

Yesterday I tried ball, then sphere, then circle (I’ve started using previous generic top greens as first guesses as some of them keep cropping up).

984, 986 and 990….and stuck!

Yes I've noticed this.
TheGoodEnoughWife · 16/03/2022 08:46

I was surprised yesterday that round wasn't green. I got hoop then loop then circle. With many wrong ones in between!

ElegantlyTouched · 16/03/2022 08:49

My first green word yesterday was tapestry. Which led me to walls but not much further. I then started randomly guessing again and hit glove. It was a weird one.

Lol. There are certainly some odd ones today. 939 and 931 for example
ThePontiacBandit · 16/03/2022 08:59

Oh my days so random today…I struggled for ages, guess 162 was my first green but only 122, then I got it! Unexpected!

Overly specific, so unlikely to be guessed! 939 is a word I learned (but often forget about) doing the Times Polygon puzzle.

fancyfrogs · 16/03/2022 09:15

Didn't finish yesterday - only started late last night and fell asleep after many wrong guesses. I was heading down a complete wrong route it seems though!
Then got lucky this morning ha

Think more broadly x

HeadacheGrey · 16/03/2022 09:28

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.

That's how i got there (after trying all the colours of the rainbow, pot, gold and Leprechaun Grin) although after looking at most of the words I think it's a miracle we got there at all that way.

Today's was slightly easier but again probably just luck.

Got it on my first green!!

SlightlyJaded · 16/03/2022 09:38

Is 986 on the right track? Stuck...

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 16/03/2022 09:43

@SlightlyJaded yes - think more broadly

AliasGrape · 16/03/2022 09:46

Yesterday I got field, and meadow, fence, wall etc were all green though not particularly high. Round was cold, as was square - so I was completely on the wrong track and probably would have stayed there all day, was literally looking around the room typing anything I could see by the point I got it.

Today I hit a high green word on guess 3, and as is my way have only got colder since. I think I can see a theme emerging but can’t quite get to it.

I have 994 986 967 954 930 - all seem to be leading me a certain way but not quite there yet.

AliasGrape · 16/03/2022 09:48

Oh haha I got it as soon as I posted - that happens quite often actually.

This is a word I usually always use in my early guesses but because it’s been cold a lot I got fed up and changed it!

I solved Semantle #46 in 22 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.58. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 31.15 (740/1000). semantle.novalis.org/
