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 solved Semantle #50 in 300 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.37. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 28.13 (17/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Hmmm… @squirrelnutkins1, think about how you might 495 an unwanted situation?

My highest is 993 is this even in the right direction or am I on the wrong track

SouperNoodle · 20/03/2022 08:10

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/03/2022 08:11

looks hopeful @Wallawallakoala

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/03/2022 08:12

yours too looks in the right direction @SouperNoodle

Choux · 20/03/2022 08:13

993 is similar to the target word. Keep going!

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 20/03/2022 08:17

120 guesses in and losing the will to live...
Am I on the right track with 989?

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/03/2022 08:26

yes @FlippyFloppyFlappy

InMySpareTime · 20/03/2022 08:28

I'm hundreds of guesses in, with highest 970 then a load of greens like 928 and 923. Any clues from those that might help?

MadisonAvenue · 20/03/2022 08:29

I’m stuck on 943.

darmar · 20/03/2022 08:30

100 guesses in and highest I have is 939, and tips?

Today I also got my lowest greens 3 and 8!

Only other greens I have are 463, 483 and 917.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/03/2022 08:31

970 is a good alternative word

squirrelnutkins1 · 20/03/2022 08:37

This is driving me insane!!!!

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 20/03/2022 08:54

Well thank the Lord for that 😑

I solved Semantle #50 in 154 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.79. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #39. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 45.14 (978/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

LiveintheNow · 20/03/2022 09:00

Been at 995 for ages, so many green words, just not the right one!

Ricardothesnowman · 20/03/2022 09:00

I have quite a few greens, but the highest is 898.
Can anyone offer a clue (not too obvious please)

ludocris · 20/03/2022 09:08

I think 995 is a bit misleading tbh. What's the next highest you have?

Difficult to come up with a clue based on 898 that's not too obvious! They're things you'd likely be doing at the same time.
MrsElm · 20/03/2022 09:11

@Ricardothesnowman the answer is a direct synonym of 898.

LiveintheNow · 20/03/2022 09:14

I have 989 and 990 as next highest

MadisonAvenue · 20/03/2022 09:15

Up to 978 now and going backwards.

Caranjo · 20/03/2022 09:16
