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!

Nothing until I suddenly got a green, 4 greens later I got it!

Gah! I’ve got 923 and now I’m going backwards!!

VikingNorthUtsire · 17/03/2022 13:15

I have 961, 871, 757 - don't seem to be able to get any closer. Am I in a dead end?

HeadacheGrey · 17/03/2022 13:16

Argh I've got 896, 905, and 982 and going nowhere fast.

Any little clues appreciated Wink

IWishMyUsernameWasX · 17/03/2022 13:25

I was just about to post to say I was on 999 and going nowhere and then I got it. A nice round 100 guesses today.

I solved Semantle #47 in 100 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.15. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #66. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 19.52. semantle.novalis.org/

Ulysses · 17/03/2022 13:51

I could do with little help to nudge me on from 811, 871 and 961 Smile

Alwaystired99 · 17/03/2022 13:54

Took me ages to get a low green but then only a few guesses to get it, feels a bit underwhelming today for some reason.

I solved Semantle #47 in 114 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.65. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #81. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 32.37 (899/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

InMySpareTime · 17/03/2022 13:56

@Ulysses think less broadly

InMySpareTime · 17/03/2022 13:58

It's actually really hard to avoid all the green words in giving hints today.

BabbleBee · 17/03/2022 16:25

I’m into the hundreds of guesses now - a big personal worst for me! My highests are 850, 860, 912 and 923. Can someone give me a hint to move on please?

You can use 923 in front of the answer word x
HeadacheGrey · 17/03/2022 16:33

I hate this rotten game.

I'm on 971 & 982........
......please.......send.........help 😫

InMySpareTime · 17/03/2022 16:34

@BabbleBee those aren't especially helpful. Be less random.

@HeadacheGrey if someone had a 982 they might pass it on to you as a...

VikingNorthUtsire · 17/03/2022 16:39

It can be a noun or an adjective

Nope, I'm just not getting it 😵‍💫

BabbleBee · 17/03/2022 16:47

I didn’t think I was being random Grin still stuck…

VirginiaQ · 17/03/2022 16:48

@HeadacheGrey

I don't think 982 is particularly helpful.
But 'What is your 'the thing' that is your 971'?

InMySpareTime · 17/03/2022 16:48

@HeadacheGrey think which words we usually use in clues that we aren't using today, that should get you closer.
