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 solved Semantle #47 in 157 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.21. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #43. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 57.93 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Not good today.

Oh good, thank you @JaneJeffer and @BabbleBee but I feel like I’ve tried every single synonym and related word and they’re all cold or lower greens! Ugh, stupid brain!

ZiaMcnab · 17/03/2022 22:48

That was supposed to say “oh god”. This is never good 😩😂

@ZiaMcnab think of 949 but in a non romantic/emotional sense.

Caranjo · 17/03/2022 23:13

Was on the verge of giving up, got it in 237.

ErrolTheDragon · 17/03/2022 23:16

@frostedfruit you are SO close!!!

BowerOfBramble · 17/03/2022 23:25

I think it’s slightly longer than most of the other 990s ones but synonymous

ZiaMcnab · 17/03/2022 23:26

Oh thank you @WildImaginings but even that hasn’t given me any higher words. I’m too stupid tonight, I’m going to give up, I need to go to bed!

WildImaginings · 17/03/2022 23:26

Think of 992 and 999 in a corporate setting.

I perked up significantly when I got a green at guess number 10. V fast for me.

I'm happier with that than I have been with the last few days' attempts.

Am I on the right lines?? I feel like I’ve used every word for this so if I’m on the wrong track please someone tell me!
