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 961 and can’t move on from it.

I solved Semantle #47 in 60 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.99. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #48. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 44.96 (992/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Madison glad I’m not the only one - I’ve just had a mad flurry of putting in anything related to my highest as well as anything random that popped into my head, and im not on 75 guesses with no green.

I actually hate this game and don’t know why I bother!

Ooh the power of posting! Got a green after posting the above, another mad flurry and on my 99th try I got word 999 Shock

Heronatemygoldfish · 17/03/2022 09:26

Well that was rather easier than most of the last week's! The top words actually were linked.

Found that one fairly easily, I'm either finally getting the hang of this or I've had a lucky streak!

HoundOfTheBasketballs · 17/03/2022 09:49

I thought this was going to be harder than it was. So I stepped away from it for an hour to have a think and.... boom.

I solved Semantle #47 in 87 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.02. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 57.93 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

BabbleBee · 17/03/2022 10:00

I hit 811 quite early on but it’s a broad meaning word so I’m going around in circles already!

InMySpareTime · 17/03/2022 10:02

You're a couple of days late for circles 😂

VivienneDelacroix · 17/03/2022 10:12

Ugh - I've got 961, 871, 811 which all seem to be linked, but I'm totally stuck.

InMySpareTime · 17/03/2022 10:15

@VivienneDelacroix the target word could go before those but isn't a synonym

Also I have 757 and 425...are any of these any use at all?

Great thread - you guys are obviously made of tougher stuff than me! I only came across this yesterday and tried for the first time and got it in 13. Based on that I thought I was way off today after 50 tries and two highish greens, so I gave up. Now having seen this thread I'm feeling a bit foolish and obviously need to stick with it a bit more 🤣

fuckwhatshouldido · 17/03/2022 11:09

Gahhh any hints please?! I’ve got 961, 960, 954, 923, 916, 912, 871, 870, 850 and heaps more - they’re all on a theme but I seem to be getting nowhere!

fancyfrogs · 17/03/2022 11:27

I solved Semantle #47 in 80 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -7.74. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #61. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 38.55 (974/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Had a few higher words but couldn't get greens for a while, then got one and couldn't get any more ha. Once I got the theme it came quite quickly!

fuckwhatshouldido · 17/03/2022 11:32

Aha! I see what they did there. Very closely linked but not synonymous with all my other greens! Got on the right track in the end.

I solved Semantle #47 in 109 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.60. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.26 (318/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

INeedNewShoes · 17/03/2022 11:44

Help! I've got the nearest word 999/1000 but can't find the solution.

Can anyone give me a hint?

INeedNewShoes · 17/03/2022 11:45

Scrap that - cheated and used a thesaurus and got it.

buzzing · 17/03/2022 11:52

Quite enjoyed that one little bit of help from a thesaurus to get me close but I thought of the actual word all by myself Grin

I solved Semantle #47 in 124 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.25. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 48.97 (996/1000). semantle.novalis.org/
