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've got 991 992 995 996 997 999.

But can't get the actual word! I'm so frustrated

This is getting boring now…

I solved Semantle #47 in 16 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.75. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 71.67 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Yay, done in 64!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 17/03/2022 08:16

999, 995, 996 and 992
but still not got it!

ElegantlyTouched · 17/03/2022 08:19

I got a highish green (850) at guess 7, am now 60 guesses on and only have one more, lower, green. Guess it'll keep me occupied today.

Done in 34! Not got a 999 before, that was exciting …

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 17/03/2022 08:20

110 guesses in, I have 993 and 992 😤

BowerOfBramble · 17/03/2022 08:23

Quite a few having the same experience as me - practically the whole countdown but not the word itself. I think the word wasn’t as plain as some of the recent ones which threw me off a bit.

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 17/03/2022 08:24

Thank God for that!

I solved Semantle #47 in 113 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.62. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #71. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 57.93 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 17/03/2022 08:25

Why doesn't Semantle recognise "speciality"?
I tried it yesterday and it didn't know the word 🤔

darmar · 17/03/2022 08:28

Todays is driving me crazy. Took me 95 guesses to get my first green and I have the most greens ever yet no word!!
My top 10 are 991, 992, 994, 996 and 997 someone please help me!!

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 17/03/2022 08:30

You're honestly nearly there, try some synonyms 😬

SheilaFentiman · 17/03/2022 08:33

Floppy - it wants you to spell it without the second i - American!

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 17/03/2022 08:35

Aah thank you Sheila, would never have occurred to me!

SheilaFentiman · 17/03/2022 08:36

I lurked around 850 for ages but it’s a bit different to the top 10

SheilaFentiman · 17/03/2022 08:37

That was a reply to Elegantly

darmar · 17/03/2022 08:38

ThePontiacBandit · 17/03/2022 08:42

44 for me, got a green quite quickly but took me ages to pinpoint the actual word, got word 999 but did another 9 words before I got it!

AliasGrape · 17/03/2022 09:07

35 guesses and not a sniff of green yet

MadisonAvenue · 17/03/2022 09:09

@AliasGrape

35 guesses and not a sniff of green yet
35 here too and 18.24 is my highest and there’s not much further that word, or the previous one, takes me.
DoorLion · 17/03/2022 09:11

Well I have 961, 871, 870, 850…on guess 153…not going well today!

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 17/03/2022 09:11

I was wondering how it handles words with multiple meanings. Having had a play around with today’s word after getting it, it looks as though it incorporates both. Which is interesting as that could make it more confusing but also give more options for success.
