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’ve got 679 and not a sausage else, absolutely mystifying! All possible related words are cold Hmm

darmar · 15/03/2022 08:25

I solved Semantle #45 in 76 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.89. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 7.27. semantle.novalis.org/

Got it! Now to look at the similar words.

ErrolTheDragon · 15/03/2022 08:29

At guess 100, not sure if I've got helpful greens as anything related in different ways seems cold

Humph, I've now added 922 to that lot.Hmm

Today's is doing my head in!

I solved Semantle #45 in 25 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.31. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #20. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 20.17. semantle.novalis.org/

25! That was quick, but I got 564 then 621 and there was a definite theme.

MadisonAvenue · 15/03/2022 08:54

A PB for me today!

I solved Semantle #45 in 42 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.95. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 30.99 (895/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

SemantleName · 15/03/2022 08:55

I have 236 and 679. After 200+ guesses today I'm disappointed. I've been doing so well the last few and I think I'm on the wrong track today but can't figure a different tangent.

AChangeofHeart · 15/03/2022 09:01

Bloody hell this took me 239 goes and I'm still struggling to see any link at all between the answer and some of my green words. Very random today.

ThePontiacBandit · 15/03/2022 09:02

Got it much faster today, just hit lucky with a word (that wasn’t especially close but got me on the right theme) so I got it in 43 …I solved Semantle #45 in 43 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.28. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 15.85. semantle.novalis.org/

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 15/03/2022 09:02

@ErrolTheDragon id say 893 is most useful.

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 15/03/2022 09:07

Got it after about a million nowhere-close guesses. Having had a look at the list of closest words, I have to say that a lot of them seem very unhelpful.

BowerOfBramble · 15/03/2022 09:13

I’ve got 679 and 701, if anyone could PM a clue I’d appreciate it!

SlightlyJaded · 15/03/2022 09:15

Got it in 54

Just a head's up to say that a lot of the close guesses are absolute NONSENSE today.

Not helpful but if you are very close - don't fixate too much.

ErrolTheDragon · 15/03/2022 09:15

Got it, thanks!

I solved Semantle #45 in 198 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.17. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #20. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 26.48 (598/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

A very strongly related word to that, imo, had been cold so I'd been exploring other ideas.

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 15/03/2022 09:19

Ok, I’m quite proud of today. My fastest yet and got it on my third green:

I solved Semantle #45 in 24 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.98. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #22. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 33.28 (939/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

SlightlyJaded · 15/03/2022 09:19

@BowerOfBramble I've PMd you. Don't know how helpful it will be!

Bytrgrewd · 15/03/2022 09:20

I agree that some of the lower greens are closer!
I solved Semantle #45 in 39 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.10. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.97 (152/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

SlightlyJaded · 15/03/2022 09:21

Today is the worst for related words.

There are lots of obvious related words in the list but they are mostly scattered amongst the low greens.

SlightlyJaded · 15/03/2022 09:22

Ah xpost @Bytrgrewd

Complete luck that I got a few low greens that were actually relevant today

ErrolTheDragon · 15/03/2022 09:23

Not helpful but if you are very close - don't fixate too much.

Having looked up a few (not words anyone would be particularly likely to guess), I think there's a bias from a very specific source.
AliasGrape · 15/03/2022 09:24

I’ve got these which seem to be leading in a certain direction but related stuff stone cold - going to leave it a bit and see if anything else comes to me

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 15/03/2022 09:25

I agree @ErrolTheDragon - very clear when you look at the list!

ErrolTheDragon · 15/03/2022 09:29

@SlightlyJaded

Today is the worst for related words.

There are lots of obvious related words in the list but they are mostly scattered amongst the low greens.

There are quite a lot of relevant ones in the high 900s too. But how the heck was the root word of 266 cold with a score of only about 14?!
Aroundtheworldin80moves · 15/03/2022 09:30

My highest was 882 today (before getting it) and it was quite closely related to that. Annoyingly that should have been obvious from a lot earlier guess...
