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 28 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 25.33 (177/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 1.95. semantle.novalis.org/
Not too bad today.

I clicked on this thread my accident a few days ago and got sucked in - first day I got it 9, yesterday in 24, and today I'm completely and utterly stuck... 100 guesses in and I can't get beyond 948.

Curse you all for sucking me in!

@BowerOfBramble

Well done *@EdwinsActsOfKindness* !

Same! It's the first thing I do when I wake up!!!

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 18/03/2022 13:21

Aaaaaaaaaaah I was stuck for bloody hours on 986 after a very early high green (873 on guess 7!). Finally got it thanks to @ErrolTheDragon’s clue. 58 guesses in the end.

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 18/03/2022 13:31

Oh good god I did it in 16 yesterday!

I had 27 greens!!!

AliasGrape · 18/03/2022 13:48

Not my best but not too bad! And a reasonable list of closest words today too.

Alwaystired99 · 18/03/2022 14:09

Once I got into the greens (at guess 149!) it wasn't too bad.

ThePontiacBandit · 18/03/2022 14:17

Oof, finally got it after being stuck with 986 taking me in the wrong direction and circling around! Thanks for the tips, they did help me work it out (eventually!).

I solved Semantle #48 in 156 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.31. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.05 (952/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

We aren't sorry. We all love to hate this game too, we are happy you joined our misery. Do you want a clue?

I solved Semantle #48 in 16 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 41.85 (967/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.02. semantle.novalis.org/

ZiaMcnab · 18/03/2022 14:57

Thanks very much to all the clue givers, especially yesterday, even though that ended up being a total write off in pretty much every way but especially for semantle! Today's looking a bit better, though - I'm only 27 guesses in and have already got 200, 204, 315, 479, 721, 773 & 873, so I have some hope I'll get it without too much prompting today, but we shall see. Feel like I have a lot to prove to myself after yesterday, tbh; I use that word so bl00dy much at work HOW did I not think of it?!

ZiaMcnab · 18/03/2022 15:19

Hmm, my confidence is waning a bit now 😂

ZiaMcnab · 18/03/2022 15:20

Ach, pic didn’t attach, that comment’s not supposed to be so cryptic 😂 But look at this ridiculousness!

@ZiaMcnab 993 think people not objects

ZiaMcnab · 18/03/2022 15:33

Thanks @InMySpareTime! That's only given me lower greens so far but I'll keep at it. Confused Grin

InMySpareTime · 18/03/2022 15:36

@ZiaMcnab
Perhaps a military focus might help?

Lotsofpots · 18/03/2022 15:37

@Idroppedthescrewinthetuna I think I need one - I'm utterly lost!! Good thing I had a good Wordle day or otherwise I'd being tearing up my English degree certificate...

BabbleBee · 18/03/2022 15:43

Much better than yesterday and some of the guesses are DD9 playing in the car on the way home from school.

I solved Semantle #48 in 40 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.98. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 42.95 (974/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Wallawallakoala · 18/03/2022 17:11

I got cocky with my quick guess yesterday and now I'm stuck! I've got so many greens I just have no idea, not sure of I'm on the Rick track with 969 I've tried so many different words, keep coming up green but no closer!! Argh

Wallawallakoala · 18/03/2022 17:18

I'm going to cry haha loads more guesses and nowhere near

BabbleBee · 18/03/2022 17:19

@Wallawallakoala I don’t think 969 is all that helpful tbh, what’s your next highest?

HeadacheGrey · 18/03/2022 17:50

I always get to green quite quickly but then come to a full stop once I'm there. But not too bad today.

I solved Semantle #48 in 64 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.33. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.23 (927/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

InMySpareTime · 18/03/2022 18:11

@Wallawallakoala you might 969 tools to do the target, especially if you are a friend of Billy.
