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!

@LiveintheNow

I have 989 and 990 as next highest
If you were doing both those together, how might you describe that?
RoxieLoxy · 20/03/2022 09:18

978 too and I've exhausted the thesaurus Grin

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/03/2022 09:20

990 is good

For 978 I think antonyms would be better 🤔

@squirrelnutkins1 if you were going to 929 someone you'd be doing this thing to whatever they had to offer.

I solved Semantle #50 in 164 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.27. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.17. semantle.novalis.org/

pukkapine · 20/03/2022 09:35

Please help! I'm going crackers. I've got 992, 993, 995, 996. I got those about 60 odd goes ago Shock if it wasn't a Sunday morning I would have had to abandon it by now!

BowerOfBramble · 20/03/2022 09:39

Can anyone give me a clue? I gave up on it last night and none of my synonyms are getting me any closer!

Re yesterday I love that someone got ???? for Tupperware - I got the same for “spliff”!

Someone might try to 937 someone who was ...ing.
MadisonAvenue · 20/03/2022 09:43

Up to 989 now and struggling again

996 is what happens if someone gives up ...ing
BowerOfBramble · 20/03/2022 09:45

I’ve got 979 and 991 too now - does this mean I’m getting the antonyms? None of the words like I’d expect to go with that clue are even in the top 500. Thanks for trying to help my poor brain though Smile

Heronatemygoldfish · 20/03/2022 09:49

Stuck on 943 and 920. Grrr.

pukkapine · 20/03/2022 09:50

@ErrolTheDragon thank you for trying! I'm just not getting there. It's all stuff that I've got! Starting my Sunday feeling stooopid

They're not really antonyms, but they're not very exact matches. I'm trying to think of a clue but at the moment my efforts are futile.
pukkapine · 20/03/2022 09:52

By Jove she's done it. That was so painful. Worst yet.

I solved Semantle #50 in 210 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.10. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 13.70. semantle.novalis.org/

Yes you would have to 979 someone who was doing this.
LividLaVidaLoca · 20/03/2022 09:52

I solved Semantle #50 in 121 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.96. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #41. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.42 (929/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Ugh. Thanks to whoever mentioned antonyms because I was on the synonym path for about 110 of those.

BowerOfBramble · 20/03/2022 09:56

Thanks for the help, I can’t think of anything that you’d have to 979 someone if they were doing it which is even in the top 1000 Confused

MadisonAvenue · 20/03/2022 10:00

Got it!
I solved Semantle #50 in 124 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.15. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #41. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 49.99 (994/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Heronatemygoldfish · 20/03/2022 10:01

Could someone tell me if 943 is a synonym or antonym please?
