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!

What do the four little question marks mean that I get sometimes?

InMySpareTime · 19/03/2022 07:10

@welliewarmer ???? Means you picked a word that is within the similarity proximity to be in the top 1000 but is a weird word so exists outside the numbering system.
Given the stuff that does make it onto the list, it's amazing that we are able to think of ???? Words at all!

@LoganberryJam

My highest word at the moment is 989 - is that a helpful one? I'm going round in circles!
989 is used in the context of both routes to the word! A synonym in one context.

Interested in this thread?

Gotcha! Lucked out on a high green again then spent ages finding lots of lower greens before stumbling on the answer by blind luck, as always 🙄😂

I solved Semantle #49 in 104 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.74. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #28. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.22. semantle.novalis.org/

LoganberryJam · 19/03/2022 07:24

@Bytrgrewd what? Really??? Then why am I finding this so hard?!

ClarasZoo · 19/03/2022 07:25

989, 965, 963 and loads like these… obviously on one pathway only! No idea what the other route is!!! Help!!!

@LoganberryJam I think you need to swap to less wholesome thinking!
LoganberryJam · 19/03/2022 07:29

Got it! Finally!!

I solved Semantle #49 in 238 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.53. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.83. semantle.novalis.org/

@ClarasZoo all those things can go together in one place when they serve their purpose.

Thanks I will keep trying but thought I had tried those places!!!!

ClarasZoo · 19/03/2022 07:35

Brilliant - I now have 997 at least and I am beginning to see the alternative route!!!!

rumred · 19/03/2022 07:37

What a bizarre game. Took me all day yesterday, today I got it quickly. Luck definitely plays a part. I now don't have to spend my day running through synonyms in alphabetical order.

ClarasZoo · 19/03/2022 07:38

Yes- got it!!

InMySpareTime · 19/03/2022 07:38

A word for 997 is also common in the wholesome context. You're so close!

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 19/03/2022 07:40

Holy smokes Batman, just saw the "alternative" route 😳 I'm clearly a wholesome flower 😂😊

MrsLargeEmbodied · 19/03/2022 07:45

989 is my top word
stumped

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 19/03/2022 07:46

@MrsLargeEmbodied

989 is my top word stumped
Where do you keep them?
Ricardothesnowman · 19/03/2022 07:50

267 guesses in and the highest I have got it is 960.
Does anyone have clue from here please? I have 40 greens and 2 ???? Soim obviously on a suitable theme, but just not progressing at all.

Ulysses · 19/03/2022 07:51

I solved Semantle #49 in 61 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.56. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 40.21 (975/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Oh wow, I definitely took a different road than the closest guesses to get there.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 19/03/2022 07:54

ah
thanks for the clues

Thank you! This changed my way of thinking abs 2 guess later I got it!

Highest I got was 963

IWishMyUsernameWasX · 19/03/2022 08:05

So much better than yesterday! I was on the wholesome route too until I saw the clues - thanks!

TimeSlipMushroom · 19/03/2022 08:13

This is frustrating. I have 960, 959, 928, 911 and I can't work out what less "wholesome" thinking would entail

RoxieLoxy · 19/03/2022 08:19

I'm on guess 234 and still stuck on 960. I've even read the clues and then got desperate and typed in wholesome!! Help.

AliasGrape · 19/03/2022 08:21

My only greens so far. I’ve got a bit bogged down in them and they’re clearly not leading me in the right way.
