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!

Oh ok I finally got it.
Thanks 😊

I solved Semantle #47 in 212 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.92. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #84. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 71.67 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

@HeadacheGrey I'd look at 971, think about the context you'd most likely talk about those things

BabbleBee · 17/03/2022 17:10

DD helped. I can’t even screenshot the greens there’s so many of them!

I solved Semantle #47 in 157 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.73. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 48.74 (995/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

@INeedNewShoes

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

Can anyone give me a hint?

Same! I had 999 hours ago and can’t get it?!

Hi everyone, I just have to share from yesterday. I solved semantle in 1! Has this ever happened to anyone else. I could not believe it. Chances are a million to one apparently.

ElegantlyTouched · 17/03/2022 17:55

Congrats, @WallaceinAnderland, that's amazing!

I'm stuck on 990. Can someone send me a clue, please?

agonising

lljkk · 17/03/2022 18:23

your words are too specific Elegantly, you want something broader

Like the difference between meat vs. steak/ ribs/ breast. You're thinking specific nuanced meanings when your target is truly quite a generic word.

JaneJeffer · 17/03/2022 18:24

@MrsElm don't take 912 so personally

MrsLargeEmbodied · 17/03/2022 18:29

makes sense now i now it!

Hasselhoffsheadband · 17/03/2022 18:29

I am getting really good at this- got it in 31 today!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 17/03/2022 18:30

@Pawtriarchal
i had to google synonyms, cheating

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 17/03/2022 18:39

Nope. I don't like this game today.
90 guesses in and only 2 green words
166 and 507.
Please help

Craspedia · 17/03/2022 18:50

Argh! 4 greens and 250 guesses in the highest 910

JaneJeffer · 17/03/2022 19:02

Sorry not @MrsElm I meant @ElegantlyTouched Blush

ElegantlyTouched · 17/03/2022 19:03

I solved Semantle #47 in 201 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.02. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 7.15. semantle.novalis.org/

Finally. Thanks for the help here. Was confused by an earlier hint but I had a flash of inspiration and got there.

Can I have a clue

In the 900 I have 988, 930, 926, 902

JaneJeffer · 17/03/2022 19:14

@Idroppedthescrewinthetuna if you're trying to find the 507 of something that is your 1000

JaneJeffer · 17/03/2022 19:16

@TakeMeToYourLiar try another word for 988

JaneJeffer · 17/03/2022 19:18
