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!

I'm going backwards with my guesses even with hints!

InMySpareTime · 16/03/2022 15:09

@Polgara2 what do people rate highest when buying 892?

Alwaystired99 · 16/03/2022 15:11

Finally! I was being way too specific again.

I solved Semantle #46 in 162 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.30. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 28.22 (517/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Interested in this thread?

Aha yes! Thank you @InMySpareTime! You know you're very good at this clue business 😉 well obviously very good at the game too 😂

ZiaMcnab · 16/03/2022 15:44

Well, I feel much better about myself, having found it in 32, with only a brief look at this thread which was no help really anyway as my previous highest was 740! And my first green was only 585. Quite tempted to do some more guessing before checking nearest words - feels very early to not have any more to do 😂

I solved Semantle #46 in 32 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.04. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.02. semantle.novalis.org/

ZiaMcnab · 16/03/2022 15:55

Well more fool me for carrying on guessing for the “lolz”; my mind is totally blown now (Don’t click on the picture if you haven’t got the answer, the word I’m complaining about might be a bit spoilery!)

HOW is this possible?! 🤯

I've just tried it and it was accepted. But cold Grin

InMySpareTime · 16/03/2022 16:05

It accepts it as a word when I try Confused Similarity 17.49

InMySpareTime · 16/03/2022 16:06

Or similarity 0.76 when capitalised

ZiaMcnab · 16/03/2022 16:07

Ah, thanks @MrsElm and it appears Semantle went down a little while ago (not sure if it's back up yet), but that's probably why, to be fair to it. I'll hold off submitting a formal complaint then Grin

Oops!

fuckwhatshouldido · 16/03/2022 16:39

That was a shock - I was dithering about in the highish numbers but totally didn’t expect that to be the word - was just trying to make sure I was on the right track! Only had 5 greens. Redemption from yesterday when it took me over a hundred guesses to get a rating beyond 12 😆

I solved Semantle #46 in 36 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.96. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 5.84. semantle.novalis.org/

Finally got it thanks to @inmysparetime's clue. Smile

Good one today, feel like I'm getting the hang of this. Will probably need 200+ guesses tomorrow now having said that!

I solved Semantle #46 in 50 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.40. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.57 (951/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Peanutbutterfingers · 16/03/2022 20:12

Yesterday I went on a massive detour via circus, trapeze and caged, spent several hundred attempts going around things associated with circus and was furious when I finally got it!

I'm so addicted to this game but am properly rubbish and I hate it.

(Got it in 141 today after landing on 986 on attempt 28 😫)

Got 984 on go 19 at 8am this morning, and it's taken me until now to figure it out!

proseghost · 16/03/2022 22:11

Fucking hell, proud of getting in there in the end and I can go to bed now.

InMySpareTime · 16/03/2022 22:17

I don't get how people are managing to play all day and still only have tens of guesses. I usually try hundreds in the first ten minutes of playing!

No idea what I’m going to do with myself all day now though… ConfusedWink
