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!

I solved Semantle #48 in 32 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.05 (952/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Happy with that today!

@BowerOfBramble

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!
You are. I would focus on 975; 985 & 994 out of the top 5 of yours. DM me if you want any more pointed hints!

Ok got it! Not what I was expecting given what I had already.

I solved Semantle #48 in 67 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 18.98. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #23. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 42.95 (974/1000).

Sorry didn't realise this was you!! 😅 well done.

Not my best but so much better than the last couple of days where I was sucked into crazy tangents or skirting around words.

I solved Semantle #48 in 41 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #19. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 48.93 (992/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

43 today, a lot better than my past days' efforts.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 18/03/2022 06:39

992 993 and 994
no idea

I solved Semantle #48 in 62 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.68. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 5.81. semantle.novalis.org/

Got lucky with a high one as my first green then wandered around with words on the same theme until I finally got it!

MrsElm · 18/03/2022 06:43

I'm interested to know if everyone generally looks for synonyms online, or does it off the top of their heads?

I get so far by myself, but then when I get stuck at the end, I do look them up. It's not always helpful though!

Spudlet · 18/03/2022 06:44

I almost always look some up. I just run out of ideas!

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 18/03/2022 06:50

Over 200 guesses in, top one is 984,971, 960,947, 941, 940, 920...

InMySpareTime · 18/03/2022 06:53

@Aroundtheworldin80moves opposite of 971

I'm getting worse and worse!!

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 18/03/2022 06:59

I solved Semantle #48 in 235 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #28. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.22 (926/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Embarrassing really...

Ulysses · 18/03/2022 06:59

I use synonyms too to jog me along. It's such a broad game that they aren't too much of a help that I feel like I'm cheating.

ErrolTheDragon · 18/03/2022 07:00

@MrsLargeEmbodied

992 993 and 994 no idea
992 for things, 993 for people
ErrolTheDragon · 18/03/2022 07:03

I don't think looking at synonyms (and antonyms) is cheating at all. And also looking at definitions to help think of words used alongside lower greens.

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 18/03/2022 07:13

I look at synonyms if I'm very stuck.

squirrelnutkins1 · 18/03/2022 07:13

I got 992 on my 17th guess but can't get any further.

I don't see looking synonyms up as cheating. You're playing against yourself. I think this is actually helping to sharpen my brain slightly 😂

MrsLargeEmbodied · 18/03/2022 07:14

google still hasnt helped,

MrsLargeEmbodied · 18/03/2022 07:16

thank you @ErrolTheDragon
