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!

The recipients of 894 typically do something first thing before getting on.

994…
I’m getting there!

@EdwinsActsOfKindness

I have 972, 974, 975, 986, 989 and 994 as my top greens and even googling synonyms isn’t helping!

I think I’ve lost semantle mojo (also found yesterday’s tricky!)

This is basically what I had, the answer wasn’t exactly a synonym of how I’d use 994 day to day. Maybe closer to 972. As a PP said the word has slightly different connotations for objects and people.

Interested in this thread?

994 in some contexts would be revolting to certain people.

Thank you BowerOfBramble and InMySpareTime

Not there yet, but will keep thinking!

Finally! Thanks again for the clues!

92 guesses in and still no greens 🤷‍♀️

Does anyone else do wordle first and then use the wordle words as starting guesses for semantle? What other way do you start guessing a random word?

Etinoxaurus · 18/03/2022 10:21

Yes! Or broad spectrum words like happiness big world etc.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 18/03/2022 10:29

I'm annoyed today as I used the person who 992s as my fifth guess and it was cold, so I dismissed 992 and similar words...

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 18/03/2022 10:30

Welcome yikes 🤗

BettyBootsie · 18/03/2022 10:39

Got a green quite early but still took a while Smile I also seemed to hit a series where I was climbing the 990s by one number each time which was so frustrating!!

Don't hate me... 94 tries to get answer - which is fairly good for me. I had 11 greens in top 100 and 18 other greens by then. I wouldn't say today's is easy.
