Semantle thread 4 is almost full and there's still plenty of love (and hate 🤣) for the game, so here's a new thread for Sunday's game.

If you're lucky enough not to know what I'm on about Semantle is a word game like Wordle. You need to find the secret word of the day, but it works by semantics, not letters. 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 join in the fun follow this link and prepare to lose your sanity.

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!

Checking in ready for tomorrow.

This game is brilliant at keeping anxiety quiet. Something about engaging the logical brain…

See you all tomorrow morning Smile

Alwaystired99 · 19/03/2022 21:54

I'm hoping to keep my winning streak tomorrow and not to get it in 3 or 300!

Haudyourwheesht · 19/03/2022 21:54

Never shared todays which I completed earlier. I quite appreciated today's.

I solved Semantle #49 in 96 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.79. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 26.14. semantle.novalis.org/

I got to it quite quickly today.

I solved Semantle #50 in 38 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.83. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #26. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 28.87 (169/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

rutabagger · 20/03/2022 00:37

Took me ages! Feel like there were a lot of antonyms - I was barking completely up the wrong tree!

I solved Semantle #50 in 240 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.57. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 49.66 (993/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Choux · 20/03/2022 01:33

I'm having one of those days today. 90 guesses in, lots of greens 4 which are 900+ and yet still no clue. Most of my greens are synonyms of each other and there aren't any more of them. And I can't think of any green associated words.

I may put it down till the morning.

I solved Semantle #50 in 174 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.13. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #49. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 16.59. semantle.novalis.org/

Well I went about that the long way... so many greens I can't even fit them on my screen. I had another 12 on top of this photo. The final word seems to have a strange relationship to most of my greens. Off to check the most related words now.

Exactly 100 guesses today!

So many green words were the opposite of each other so I had no idea which direction to go in!

Wallawallakoala · 20/03/2022 03:28

Argh I think I'm going the wrong way! Highest 726 and going backwards!

Wallawallakoala · 20/03/2022 03:36

993 now and so confused!

MrsElm · 20/03/2022 04:55

I solved Semantle #50 in 53 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.86. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 30.36 (404/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Not too bad for this early in the morning. DD is unwell so not sleeping.

ChuckBerrysBoots · 20/03/2022 05:17

143 guesses in and not a single green yet - wtf!!

ChuckBerrysBoots · 20/03/2022 05:29

Oh phew 144 was green but still none the wiser

BettyBootsie · 20/03/2022 06:21

Happy with that Smile

Pleased to see the word list is sensible today. Although I did enjoy extending my narcotic slang knowledge yesterday.

Spudlet · 20/03/2022 06:54

Ah, I thought there’d be a new thread! Not sure I’ve forgiven whoever it was on here that hooked me into this mind you Grin

squirrelnutkins1 · 20/03/2022 07:26

I'm 100 guesses in and can't get any further.
Any clue or hint would be appreciated please!
