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!

Hello, can I join in? I tried Semantle once last week and got quite close but was then stuck and abandoned it in a fit of petulance. Just had another go today and did it!

I solved Semantle #44 in 21 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 17.32. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.04 (297/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I think the key is that I have to keep reminding myself it doesn’t have to be a verb … other words do exist!

SlightlyJaded · 14/03/2022 09:57

Took me 87 today. Feel like I am getting worse

SlightlyJaded · 14/03/2022 09:57

Off to Quordle now :)

RoxieLoxy · 14/03/2022 09:59

I got it in 143 and was delighted Grin

Wallawallakoala · 14/03/2022 09:59

It totally depends what words you get lucky with and their different meanings, I go down so many different twists and turns and sometimes just hit a good one. This one I can't get past 864 even though I got that one my second try!!

Tiddlesthecat · 14/03/2022 10:01

Got it in 34 today, which is my best ever guess. Once you start on the right path, the answer is fairly easy I think as, for me at least, there weren't a huge amount of alternative options. Yesterday's on the other hand....

Wallawallakoala · 14/03/2022 10:03

Oh 939 now! Is this the right sort of theme?

VikingNorthUtsire · 14/03/2022 10:03

I got lucky today ☺️ first guess was green, then tried a few non-starters before hitting the theme.

I solved Semantle #44 in 23 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 22.16 (460/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.80 (780/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I'm stuck on 994. Any tips?

InMySpareTime · 14/03/2022 10:05

@Wallawallakoala @939 links in a sporting context

InMySpareTime · 14/03/2022 10:06

I didn't mean to tag the number, hope it isn't someone's username Blush

Much better than yesterday!!!

InMySpareTime · 14/03/2022 10:07

@darmar where would you break a 994?

Thank you! Got it immediately from that. I started todays at 3am on the night feed

Alwaystired99 · 14/03/2022 10:15

@InMySpareTime 's earlier clue got me there very quickly! Does this mean I've actually got to work now?!

InMySpareTime · 14/03/2022 10:20

Pretend you're still guessing, and just put random words in for the rest of the day. No need to actually do work...

Alwaystired99 · 14/03/2022 10:22

Well the mood I'm in with certain people that's very tempting.

JaneJeffer · 14/03/2022 10:52

Finally! I'm sure I tried that word way back 
I got an "I don't know the word" for something which is another word for the answer.

Heronatemygoldfish · 14/03/2022 11:10

I was getting nowhere with just 3 greens (all under 500) until I read InMySpareTime's hint about 994, at which point I knew what 994 was and then it was straightforward. (Thanks!)

AliasGrape · 14/03/2022 11:21

I got it from the clues here and am kind of annoyed/ disappointed with myself for using them rather than any kind of word skill now. Maybe tomorrow I should stay off the thread till I’ve tried a bit longer myself.

Although I know full well I won’t be able to do this Grin
