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!

My new high word is 927.
I will work on clue you have sent

Got it with the help of JaneJeffer's clue upthread.

I solved Semantle #47 in 109 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.85. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 71.67 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Good grief finally! I wasted so much time on a different path Angry

I solved Semantle #47 in 374 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -2.18. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #65. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 48.97 (996/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

WhoWants2Know · 17/03/2022 19:46

I'm stuck. I have 800, 811, 850, 879, but I'm getting nowhere

Bouledeneige · 17/03/2022 19:50

I got today in 65. Went from lots of cold to instantly an 850 and then 960.

Yesterday took me a lot longer - 180 goes.

SmolCat · 17/03/2022 19:54

I relied heavily on googling synonyms today!

I solved Semantle #47 in 86 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.08. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #21. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 44.96 (992/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

InMySpareTime · 17/03/2022 19:59

@WhoWants2Know think less of right now, look beyond.

Bookwest · 17/03/2022 20:17

I have 991, 992, 993, 994, 995, 996 + 999 and still can't get it 😂🤣😂
It totally serves me right for thinking I was getting good at this game.

Polgara2 · 17/03/2022 20:18

I think I'm getting worse at this every day! Although maybe I'm just too tired if I start it so late.
So my greens are only 206/262/416/632/777
If any of those can push me forward please tell Hmm

Polgara2 · 17/03/2022 20:21

Ooh sudden rush to 992 995 999!
Lemme think 🤔

InMySpareTime · 17/03/2022 20:24

It's a longish word but a common synonym of 999

Polgara2 · 17/03/2022 20:33

Got it! Took another 10 guesses though 🙄 tried so many words around that theme.
Thanks @InMySpareTime

ZiaMcnab · 17/03/2022 22:10

Well a hideous day at work only allowed me about 10 minutes of semantle today, which you would have though would be enough when my first guess was 635 but I’ve been at it another 30 minutes (only got home from work then. I’m so tired 😩) and have found a few more greens 117, 420, 507, 536 and 949 but now I am so stuck! Can anyone please help me, I really don’t want to give up!

WildImaginings · 17/03/2022 22:16

I just cannot get it today. Lots of words in the high 900's but I just can't get there!

lljkk · 17/03/2022 22:19

I've already given way too much hint above.

lljkk · 17/03/2022 22:21

Does anyone else reckon this game is morrish because you can only do it once a day? It's like a never-satisfied quest for the holy grail.

WildImaginings · 17/03/2022 22:25

Finally got it. Looked back at past words and tried synonyms for some of the lower 900's - led me to a word in the top 10 and got it from there!

frostedfruit · 17/03/2022 22:25

@Bookwest

I have 991, 992, 993, 994, 995, 996 + 999 and still can't get it 😂🤣😂 It totally serves me right for thinking I was getting good at this game.
These are exactly the numbers I have @Bookwest

We must have the same brain Grin

Stuck on 999 now for ages . . .

JaneJeffer · 17/03/2022 22:29

@ZiaMcnab what's another word for your 536 to find the answer?
