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!

@RoxieLoxy I can DM you another clue but don't want to post it here as it'll make it too easy 😂

InMySpareTime · 19/03/2022 08:55

@MrsElm I see what you did there 😂

@TimeSlipMushroom - 975 is not as unhelpful as you might think. Love your username btw!

Ha, brilliant clue MrsElms

SheilaFentiman · 19/03/2022 08:58

Got it in 77

riverpebbles · 19/03/2022 09:00

I got there the wholseome route but blimey it took a while. Would NEVER have tried the unwholesome route, just not where my head is at of a morning!

[quote InMySpareTime]@EdwinsActsOfKindness coffee might help, but lots of tea would be better.[/quote]
That gave me an idea, tried it and it was cold so still going round in circles Grin

MrsElm · 19/03/2022 09:03

@SheilaFentiman

Ha, brilliant clue MrsElms
I hope it wasn't too obvious Blush
InMySpareTime · 19/03/2022 09:03

@EdwinsActsOfKindness you'll warm to it soon, but don't stew over it.

I solved Semantle #49 in 34 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 17.88. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 16.18. semantle.novalis.org/

Only got it this quickly because I came on this thread and read a clue. Feel a bit like I've cheated myself!

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 19/03/2022 09:08

Oh I see what you were all talking about with the wholesome vs unwholesome now! I very definitely came from the wholesome angle!

I solved Semantle #49 in 78 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.61. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #26. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 34.64 (844/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Alwaystired99 · 19/03/2022 09:09

923 sent me down the unwholesome route after reading this and I got ????? , ha ha! I'm now stuck on the unhelpful 960.

InMySpareTime · 19/03/2022 09:10

What do you 960 things out of?

Alwaystired99 · 19/03/2022 09:11

Eh?! That is definitely not the unwholesome route I was expecting from earlier clues!

I solved Semantle #49 in 62 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.66. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.15. semantle.novalis.org/

weebarra · 19/03/2022 09:11

Hmm. I'm on 998, definitely unwholesome!

InMySpareTime · 19/03/2022 09:12

@weebarra 998 is definitely a high number!

Alwaystired99 · 19/03/2022 09:13

My unwholesome was much more unwholesome! This game must say a lot about how people's minds work. Or don't.

weebarra · 19/03/2022 09:16

I'm now using many words from my misspent youth!

LizDoingTheCanCan · 19/03/2022 09:20

@InMySpareTime Please take care with the clues you're giving out. They're too obvious and you're going to ruin it for people still playing. If someone wants a clue, send a private message.

TimeSlipMushroom · 19/03/2022 09:20

Found it. Simple but elusive and with a load of weird close words. Strange game

SheilaFentiman · 19/03/2022 09:23

No, it was perfect!

RoxieLoxy · 19/03/2022 09:23

@InMySpareTime your clues are not too obvious for me Smile

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 19/03/2022 09:25

Finally 😅 My list of green words is insanely long.

Thanks for the hints!

I solved Semantle #49 in 193 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.15. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #83. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 19.48. semantle.novalis.org/

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 19/03/2022 09:26

I think InMySpareTime gives good clues.
If I'm stuck I will just ask for a clue and not read the rest of the thread 🤷🏼‍♀️
