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!

I solved Semantle #49 in 79 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.23. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #26. My penultimate guess had a similarity of -0.13. semantle.novalis.org/

Gosh, that was difficult! Smile

@ZiaMcnab

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?
Think of the room you might store it in. What else might you store there?

Fab, thanks so much @JaneJeffer and @MrsPsmalls those hints did the trick! One of these days I’ll get to it without help, but not any time soon!

I solved Semantle #49 in 59 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.26. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #30. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 34.38 (831/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Interested in this thread?

And oh my goodness am I peeved about the nearest words malarkey. HOW is 976 at 976 when an actual (albeit uncommon) synonym has a similarity of 8.61?????? 😡 Still, it’s that kind of thing that keeps me addicted I guess 😁

JaneJeffer · 19/03/2022 17:17

I think they were using the answer when they came up with some of those words.

Ooh wonder what that was. Does it go with 776 usually?

ScrambledSmegs · 19/03/2022 20:04

I solved Semantle #49 in 98 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.91. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #30. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.06 (928/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Great, that's another word game I'm hooked on. Thanks MN HmmGrin

I think it explains the whole annoying game to be fair Grin

Tell me about it! I'll start it and add the link but there's room here for more discussion of today's game.

I solved Semantle #49 in 41 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 22.63. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #31. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 30.89. semantle.novalis.org/

How it got there from my first word (which I misspelled), I have no idea!

Etinoxaurus · 20/03/2022 00:31

Woohoo!!!

Etinoxaurus · 20/03/2022 00:32

Not there yet! But 991 on 40 guesses. Should be my best yet by a country mile, I want to finish it but at the same time I don’t…
