Semantle 5

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!

Still not a single green here after 50 guesses.

I thought I had a trail but it went nowhere and still not reached similarity of 20. Sigh.

RoxieLoxy · 21/03/2022 09:31

Got it in 142 thanks to a clue on here Grin i probably should have tried for a bit longer without looking at clues but I think I'd have spent ages not getting anywhere, again.

Heronatemygoldfish · 21/03/2022 09:31

...and in my next guess after posting that I go in at the late 900s.
Silly game!

After being stuck on 995 for a while I’m now up to 996 Confused

NaiceLeftie · 21/03/2022 09:43

…and it just hit me seconds after posting that comment! Grin

I solved Semantle #51 in 33 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.99. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.41. semantle.novalis.org/

Better than yesterday! 🙈😂

Got 995 on guess 38 but it took another -odd attempts to get there! I was cleaning my teeth and it suddenly flashed into my mind as I pondered the clues - a map of 995, a core part of formal 995, and something MNers are interested in! My first green was ranked 45…

I solved Semantle #51 in 136 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.61. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.20. semantle.novalis.org/

DoorLion · 21/03/2022 09:48

Another 100-odd I should have said

SlightlyJaded · 21/03/2022 09:50

Can't even get into the green today. Just randomly hitting keys at this point

BowerOfBramble · 21/03/2022 09:51

Sending good wishes to @Wallawallakoala @Lotsofpots and @ElegantlyTouched, and all those missing their parents or going through difficult times at the moment Flowers

SouperNoodle · 21/03/2022 09:56

995 this morning pretty quickly but can't seem to get further even with a ridiculous amount of related words. How are you all doing?

SlightlyJaded · 21/03/2022 09:56

@BowerOfBramble

VERY Cluey.

That got me from the wilderness (no greens for 80 guesses) straight to 995 Grin

Lotsofpots · 21/03/2022 09:57

@MrsElm think about where you might use 811

Sorry!!

SlightlyJaded · 21/03/2022 10:01

@BowerOfBramble

No. Am actually grateful this morning as I should be working.

Stuck on 995 though....

SlightlyJaded · 21/03/2022 10:12

Got it. I was also brushing teeth and knew it would be the right answer before I even typed it.

Doubleraspberry · 21/03/2022 10:14

I solved Semantle #51 in 38 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.93. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 20.09. semantle.novalis.org/

SmolCat · 21/03/2022 10:14

The only green I’ve got is 924. It hasn’t helped me come up with any other greens. Should I persevere with it or is it not that helpful?

OneDayIWillBeOrganised · 21/03/2022 10:15

I solved Semantle #51 in 36 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.00. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 34.95 (756/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Best attempt for me today. Totally hooked on this game Grin.

That was one of my first greens. It's got a valid relationship to the solution but not in a very specific way.
IWishMyUsernameWasX · 21/03/2022 10:19

I'm enjoying the distraction from a stressful morning. Yesterday I gave up (for the first time) so I'm determined to get there today. I am stuck on 995 - perhaps I should go and brush my teeth again!

AngeloMysterioso · 21/03/2022 10:20

Another one stranded on 995, and after each clue I read I just think… “eh??”

ThePontiacBandit · 21/03/2022 10:24

The best green I have is 880…no idea where to go from here! Would love a hint

I didn't find many of the clues very helpful tbh, except for InMySpareTime's
GiveMummyTheWhizzer · 21/03/2022 10:27

I solved Semantle #51 in 143 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -4.82. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #23. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.06. semantle.novalis.org/

Didn't think I was ever going to get that today. Thank you for clues.

I guess It expands the further you progress in 995?

Use that word in a context quite often discussed on mn - that may get you further.
