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!

Thank you Liz

I solved Semantle #46 in 34 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.38. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 32.23 (793/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I had bloody DH whistling the Joni Mitchell song after I’d said no hints!

64 guesses today - at least the high greens were broadly logical.

Thanks @SimonedeBeauvoirscat - that helped.

I tried that on guess 10 but still floundering on 916. If it's the song I'm thinking of! (I love that song)

@Alwaystired99 916 won't help, keep looking.

Hmmm what else have you got x
BeastOfBODMAS · 16/03/2022 11:24

@Alwaystired99 that was in reference to yesterday’s (Circle game) - don’t think it’s a hint for today!

@FooFighter99 a really special 948 would have an acronym. What does that acronym stand for?

INeedNewShoes · 16/03/2022 11:35

Ooh good clue! Made me think even though I know the answer.

That just made my head hurt..... I'm far too literal for clues like that Grin

I was thinking of today's 865 as a Joni song!

welliewarmer · 16/03/2022 12:01

I haven't got 948, is there another clue anyone can give me? Really need to get on with my day. I've got 994, 990, 986...
