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!

I have 995, 993, 992, 987, 980, 979, 976, 970, 966, 965, 955, 924, 923, 922, 920, 919, 911. And stuck!

MrsElm · 21/03/2022 06:52

I am on 100 guesses and completely stuck on 811. Please can someone tell me if I am on the right track, or if it's a red herring?

I have most of the same ones as you and also stuck! My first day playing this (I've seen intrigued by the thread titles for a couple of days and finally clicked to see what it was all about). So frustrating to be so close and still not get it!

Interested in this thread?

Better day today. I gave up yesterday, was at 300 plus guesses and just wasn’t in the mood to keep trying.

I solved Semantle #51 in 67 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.92. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 28.65 (352/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Friolero · 21/03/2022 07:14

I’m also stuck with nothing higher than 995 and have exhausted all words I can think of that are vaguely related to this. Got lots of others in the 900s, 992, 989, 987, 979, 977 etc.

SheilaFentiman · 21/03/2022 07:15

Similarly stuck with 995 as highest and a few a bit lower

Peanutbutterfingers · 21/03/2022 07:18

After yesterday's complete humiliation of 408 I have redeemed myself with my all time best of 13 thanks to a lucky early guess. No idea what I'll do all day now...

I'm also stuck at 995. I've had a few ???'s so think I know what word is in it but feel like I've tried every word with that in it Sad

Spudlet · 21/03/2022 07:22

Another one stuck on 995. Argh!

InMySpareTime · 21/03/2022 07:23

Also stuck at 995, I'm starting to think it's a weird American word for 995 that is only a common word here for something else, but I've tried a load of those without success.
Any hints for the 995 crew please?

gogohm · 21/03/2022 07:23

I solved Semantle #51 in 34 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 18.62. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #22. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.86. semantle.novalis.org/

Spudlet · 21/03/2022 07:25

Yes, I too would like a hint please! This is driving me bonkers Hmm

gogohm · 21/03/2022 07:25

@InMySpareTime

Not a weird American world I can promise you

feathermucker · 21/03/2022 07:26

Got it in 303 today, most attempts so far

squirrelnutkins1 · 21/03/2022 07:27

Sending hugs for the comments up thread xxxThanks
I feel way less 'sharp' since having a baby so this game makes me feel slightly better about myself and it's the first thing I do as soon as I wake up!

Another 995-er here looking for inspiration

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 21/03/2022 07:33

Also stuck on 995.

Peanutbutterfingers · 21/03/2022 07:34

995 is a good word think about what needs to be delivered via it

Lotsofpots · 21/03/2022 07:37

Agree that 995 is useful. You're looking for something that is a core part of formal 995.

Not really. Closest with 496, but focus on outside the home.
MrsElm · 21/03/2022 07:41

Please can someone tell me if I am on the right track? I have 811, 809, 727, 637, 606, 439, 353, 109.

Spudlet · 21/03/2022 07:43

FOUND IT! Thank you for the hints, I would have been there all day without those 🙈

I solved Semantle #51 in 238 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.51. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 59.60 (989/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Thank you! Got it from that and screeched like a pterodactyl. I don’t know if it was in rage or triumph 😂

Aha, thank you! Done it.
