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!

Second day of doing this game. I hate you all for introducing me to it Grin

I solved Semantle #52 in 101 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.84. semantle.novalis.org/

@CaptMorgan

990, 955, 835, 827, 772, 681,656, 600, 505, 436, 312, 246, 115 and 15. So loads!!
Most of those fit into a broad generic category, but the clue you were given for 312 upthread (312 ...sman) relates to the other quite different but also broad meaning.

BowerOfBramble · 23/03/2022 00:27

Well I was very confused there and got it without really realising what I was getting til the last minute, approached through a “theme” that probably wasn’t even there Grin

My first green was #460 which led me in completely the wrong direction! That was guess 10 but it took me to guess 80 to get it!

Frustrated with this one. Could've sworn I'd already entered the secret word very early on.🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤷🏻‍♀️

MadisonAvenue · 23/03/2022 01:39

This is my worst for a while, I’m up to 246 guesses and can’t get off 734.

MrsRhodes · 23/03/2022 02:01

Semantle #53 got it in 93 (possibly a cheat as when I hit 990 I used a thesaurus and then got it🙈)

AngeloMysterioso · 23/03/2022 04:32

I’m stuck on 925 and no idea where to go…
