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!

Once again it's a word I know from a context they didn't consider so all the words follow themes I don't know much about.

Caranjo · 14/03/2022 07:02

Got it in 141, should have got it sooner but panicked at the emerging theme.

Who would guess 997? That is an odd word and as far as a quick Google says, only connected with the target in one location.

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 14/03/2022 07:25

Never heard of 997 or 996.

Ulysses · 14/03/2022 07:29

Running out of ideas though 😬

No one would guess the odd words, and they won't be in the list used to pick the solutions from. They're just terms which have been used in articles on Google news.
