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!

Not entirely sure how I managed that!
I solved Semantle #49 in 23 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.56. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.27. semantle.novalis.org/

@BettyBootsie a common synonym for 998 is also a word from the other contexts. Don't overthink it!

I solved Semantle #49 in 31 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.88. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 26.87. https://semantle.novalis.org/

Well that was disappointing..!

I got Semantle 49 on my first guess!

JaneJeffer · 19/03/2022 12:17

Who is it who uses the same starting word? They must have done well today!

I did this the other day and at first I was delighted then disappointed 😂

I can't believe it took me that long to think of that synonym of 998 Blush when it seemed I had every other one!

I solved Semantle #49 in 286 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.29. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #68. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 14.42. semantle.novalis.org/

Bytrgrewd · 19/03/2022 12:27

[quote BettyBootsie]@mrselm nope - still stuck with 998. Lots of unwholesome words have been used and managed to get 3 with ???? Blush[/quote]
Really simple synonym! Just imagine yourself in the scenario where you might want 998. What might you ask for?

Etinoxaurus · 19/03/2022 12:43

I got a few ???? too 💁🏻‍♀️
Googling doesn’t help, any ideas?

FooFighter99 · 19/03/2022 12:54

Stuck at 960 😭

InMySpareTime · 19/03/2022 12:58

@FooFighter99 there are plenty of 960 clues upthread.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 19/03/2022 13:02

How is 981 higher than 891? Or is it another legitimate spelling in the US?

What numbers have you got?
Heronatemygoldfish · 19/03/2022 13:16

Puzzled up to the point I got first couple of greens then got the pattern.

I solved Semantle #49 in 48 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.89. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.30. semantle.novalis.org/

Heronatemygoldfish · 19/03/2022 13:19

Now laughing. I looked at the word list - maybe I didn't get the top pattern after all! Or it's simply that there are two patterns, and I was on the lower score one: my highest green before I got it was 959.

My highest before was 928, I was definitely following a different theme 😂
JaneJeffer · 19/03/2022 13:31

Mine was 910 Grin

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 19/03/2022 13:51

I was stuck on 989 for around 70 guesses, it's making me laugh now I know the answer 😂

MzHz · 19/03/2022 14:09

Getting to 960 was helpful

I solved Semantle #49 in 201 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.61. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #47. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 27.32. semantle.novalis.org/

ErrolTheDragon · 19/03/2022 14:26

I solved Semantle #49 in 107 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.19. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 20.18. https://semantle.novalis.org/

I'd have perhaps got there quicker if I'd not looked at this thread re an unwholesome theme as before that my highest were 928 and 950.Grin

WhoWants2Know · 19/03/2022 14:30

I solved Semantle #49 in 39 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.34. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #39. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.11. semantle.novalis.org/

I got it totally by accident! I wasn't going wholesome or non wholesome

Wallawallakoala · 19/03/2022 14:53

I definitely went down a very innocent wholesome root! When I said it was right up my street I didn't even realise the actual game meaning!

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 19/03/2022 14:56

"Right up my street" 🤣

ZiaMcnab · 19/03/2022 15:49

Well, I’ve got stuck in my usual position, loads of colds, some very low greens and then, randomly, 918! Is that any help at all?

Semantle 4
JaneJeffer · 19/03/2022 15:52

Yes @ZiaMcnab from the answer to 918
