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!

This is ridiculous. Especially given my profession.

Context of 811 and 508?

Haudyourwheesht · 21/03/2022 20:10

Fucks' sakes. It's a word I use daily. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I solved Semantle #51 in 145 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.06. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 6.11. semantle.novalis.org/

Interested in this thread?

Finally got it! I can't believe I skipped around that word!! I actually used a similar word but couldn't think of this one. I just almost posted a spoiler on the subject matter with my next comment 😅

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 21/03/2022 21:21

I solved Semantle #51 in 104 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.44. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #36. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 10.62. semantle.novalis.org/

Today's was a right fecker. I was stuck with only 2 green words for ages and I never really hit a theme as such.

Anyway, just to join in the love fest from earlier - thank you again for this thread ElegantlyTouched

I really enjoy this everyday and also have various challenges going on in my life so this is just the right sort of distraction. Also love this thread, just the right level of clues for me on here!

Agree with this ❤️

Much less frustrating than this weekend, where I couldn't have done it without the help of posters here.

I solved Semantle #51 in 68 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -6.56. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #45. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 72.18 (996/1000).

ZiaMcnab · 21/03/2022 22:01

Omg, today has been pretty hideous and battling with semantle since I got in at 8 has knocked everything else out of my head as usual so I add my thanks to @ElegantlyTouched for starting this and all of you for making it such a nice place! I am now 250 guesses in 😳 and only have 970, 813, 742, 606, 485, 459, 413 and 253!

Can anybody help me pleeeeeeeease?!

ZiaMcnab · 21/03/2022 22:01

678 too now!

ZiaMcnab · 21/03/2022 22:12

And 953, 923 & 881! Aaaargh!!

MrsElm · 21/03/2022 22:16

@ZiaMcnab what would a 953er be 953ing?

ZiaMcnab · 21/03/2022 22:18

Oh thanks @MrsElm! Not sure that’s going to give it to me given the only answer I thought of to you4 clue is very cold (12.35!) I just got 995 though, so maybe I can get it from that if I trawl back through the thread?!

MrsElm · 21/03/2022 22:24

@ZiaMcnab that's what I did when I finally reached 995! Several clues upthread really helped.
I would say keep going, you are nearly there!

And as for my clue, think broadly rather than of specifics.

ZiaMcnab · 21/03/2022 22:26

Thanks @MrsElm I’ll keep trying a bit but would love for someone to tell me what the hell is wrong with my brain! How is it possible to think of so many related words but not the target word?!!

@ZiaMcnab I had the same problem but if you scroll back you'll see how I solved it Grin

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 21/03/2022 22:30

I got a high green in the 900s this morning after 6 guesses! Was busy all day, have been stuck on 995 for ages, please help!

ElegantlyTouched · 21/03/2022 22:30

Awww, thanks everyone! Am so pleased you're all 'enjoying' it as much as me!

@Lotsofpots - so very sorry to hear about your father. Hugs, and you'll be in my thoughts. x

I solved Semantle #51 in 227 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -5.16. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #34. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.62.

Was v odd today. Took me 34 guesses to get to a green, then another 64 before I had another. Was stuck on a specific situation and couldn't get past it.

Was bemused by the attached, mind, with the words being x, X, xs, Xs. No idea what the story there is 😂

I got it thanks @ElegantlyTouched but I'm still stumped! Seemsike a lot were stuck at 995! Think when it gets to this time of night my brain can't function!

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 21/03/2022 22:40

@ElegantlyTouched also like to thanks for introducing this game although I think I'm pretty rubbish at it most of the time! Grin

ZiaMcnab · 21/03/2022 22:46

Oh god, how is it possible to still not have it?!!! I’ve said “995 is part of X” about 20 times but none of the words that fit X in my head are any closer! I’m probably too tired to solve this now, but will try for another few minutes before I give up. Off to brush my teeth to see if inspiration strikes there first though!

GreenHillFaraway · 21/03/2022 22:47

Stuck on 995 since guess 41. Thought I was never going to get it. Virtually every guess after 995 was a green.

I solved Semantle #51 in 84 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.15. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.77 (459/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Have dm-ed you. Will be less subtle if it's no help.
