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!

@Ricardothesnowman what do you put 960 in. Think of all the 960s used in the process.

ClarasZoo · 19/03/2022 08:24

That was fun. Having had lots of wholesome words, branching into most exotic types, I then just randomly went to some rude words! Not that helpful!! But got it now!!!

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 19/03/2022 08:26

I was on the very wholesome route and then saw this thread so jumped from 989 to 998 on the back of that!

Further clues up thread not helping though so I think I need some coffee and to have a think!

Interested in this thread?

@AliasGrape what do you put into 831?

InMySpareTime · 19/03/2022 08:28

@EdwinsActsOfKindness coffee might help, but lots of tea would be better.

Ricardothesnowman · 19/03/2022 08:30

InMySpareTime, thanks, but I still can't work it out. I must be so thick today!!!

RoxieLoxy · 19/03/2022 08:31

More clues please. Cannot get past 960 even with the clues and even after typing rude words haha

InMySpareTime · 19/03/2022 08:34

When 960 is made of wood what savoury use can you put it to?

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 19/03/2022 08:34

I make that three different themes / routes to the solution, I reckon. I don’t want to give away too much but there are 2 separate ‘wholesome’ themes, I’d say. I started on one of them, then found the other then finally shifted onto the unwholesome one right at the end and had a succession of words in the high 990s as I edged to the solution. Took 123 goes in the end.

I've done the same and it's not helped either!
ElegantlyTouched · 19/03/2022 08:35

I solved Semantle #49 in 139 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 18.83. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #53. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.19 (964/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Would never of thought of anything but the wholesome route if not for you guys! Thanks!

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 19/03/2022 08:35

(989 really brings all three themes together I think)

SouperNoodle · 19/03/2022 08:35

I solved Semantle #49 in 37 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.03. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #20. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 63.91 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Yay! No synonyms today. Went on the right tangent and did it pretty quickly 😁

I've run out of savoury uses for my wooden 960

If that's in the drawer, what's in the cupboards?
Caranjo · 19/03/2022 08:38

Got it in 157. Read the clues on here and switched to a very unwholesome direction which was unfortunately the wrong type of unwholesome Grin. Switched back to wholesome and finally got there.

Ricardothesnowman · 19/03/2022 08:38

Oh my goodness, can't belive it took me so long to get it. 957 should have been a clue.
But not sure how many of the others really relate, such as 776 and 683 or 887!

RoxieLoxy · 19/03/2022 08:38

Me too @TimeSlipMushroom. I've even googled uses for a wooden 960. Desperation Grin

TimeSlipMushroom · 19/03/2022 08:41

I now have a 975 but it's not helping much Confused

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 19/03/2022 08:43

Cpuldnt get yesterdays at all, lucked out today.

I solved Semantle #49 in 57 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.85. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #46. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.83. semantle.novalis.org/

InMySpareTime · 19/03/2022 08:44

What do you move 960 around in, to produce amounts you can use smaller 960s to distribute?

madnessitellyou · 19/03/2022 08:44

This is my latest obsession. I've had a rubbish week so this has cheered me up no end:

I solved Semantle #49 in 12 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.74. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.32 (302/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

RoxieLoxy · 19/03/2022 08:45

Thanks @SouperNoodle. Not getting it today at all. I've literally gone through everything in my cupboards. And still on 960. This is awful Grin

SheilaFentiman · 19/03/2022 08:46

Ugh, I have 960, 959, 928 and am getting noweher

InMySpareTime · 19/03/2022 08:48
