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!

202 guesses now and I'm only up to 840. I'm really having an off day!

989… help! I’m stuck!

JaneJeffer · 18/03/2022 18:55

@MzHz if you 989 something you usually do the answer to get there

I solved Semantle #48 in 112 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.13. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.78. semantle.novalis.org/

ElegantlyTouched · 18/03/2022 19:13

@IWishMyUsernameWasX - you seem to be taking the same route as I did. Will dm you.

@IWishMyUsernameWasX have given you a slightly higher word, but don't look in your inbox if you don't want it. Forgot to put some blank lines in.

IWishMyUsernameWasX · 18/03/2022 20:17

Thank you @elegantlytouched. That gives me another avenue to work on. I'm going to pour myself a glass once I've got the kids up in bed and give it one last try!

Polgara2 · 18/03/2022 20:35

Omg my first guess has given me 992!!! I'm not sure I dare to guess again as I usually go backwards. This is unprecedented lol

InMySpareTime · 18/03/2022 20:45

992 is a great start, it's a synonym.

Polgara2 · 18/03/2022 20:52

Well as predicted I am going backwards 991, 975, 974, 954, 952 😭
I'm running out of synonyms for 992 🤔

NaiceLeftie · 18/03/2022 20:54

@InMySpareTime

992 is a great start, it's a synonym.
Thank you!

I solved Semantle #48 in 29 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.44. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 46.38 (990/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Jumped quickly to 992 then was completely stumped! Smile

InMySpareTime · 18/03/2022 20:57

@Polgara2 if 992 had a book, you'd use it to...

ZiaMcnab · 18/03/2022 21:01

I can’t take it any more! Can someone help me get out of the rut I’m in with 993?!

993 is a synonym
Polgara2 · 18/03/2022 21:13

Yay! I'd like to say I'm fabulous but having exhausted my synonyms I read @InMySpareTime clue out loud to myself and dd1, who had announced she was going to have a nap, just threw out the answer 😂

ZiaMcnab · 18/03/2022 21:14

Oh thanks @MrsPsmalls that’s encouraging, I feel like I’ve tried all of those but I can’t have!

ZiaMcnab · 18/03/2022 21:18

Omg I got it! Thanks so much @MrsPsmalls I was trying to think too laterally, as soon as I knew for sure it was a synonym of 993 it clicked! Thank god for that!

I solved Semantle #48 in 74 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.10. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 33.89 (855/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Lotsofpots · 18/03/2022 21:20

Stuck on 986. Argh.

LoganberryJam · 18/03/2022 21:25

@Lotsofpots I was stuck on 986 for ages too! It's not actually that similar IMO so try other things.

ZiaMcnab · 18/03/2022 21:41

@Lotsofpots if you needed to 986 from things with one hand you would need to target word them

mysemantlehealthissuffering · 18/03/2022 22:04

My highest is 984. Can anyone help with a clue? Feel like I'm on a different track to other posters

984 is something you’d do after you’d done some of the higher words.
