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!

@ThePontiacBandit 943 is not really helpful, what else do you have?

BIWI · 23/03/2022 17:04

@ThePontiacBandit

I’m stuck on 943 today…closest words aren’t right, got a few lower green ones. Would love a hint!
Have you got 849 and 863?

I solved Semantle #53 in 105 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -3.03. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #67. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.79 (488/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

That was hard! The clues make so much sense when you know the answer Grin

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 23/03/2022 19:20

Right read all the clues and still stuck on 990. Can I have another hint please

InMySpareTime · 23/03/2022 19:30

990 is something you can take out. What results?

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 23/03/2022 19:35

I'm stuck on 998 Confused

Just had a PM. I would never have got there today!
InMySpareTime · 23/03/2022 19:40

@MyGhastIsFlabbered what is the smallest constituent part of 998?

Thank you!!

I solved Semantle #53 in 47 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 21.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 33.84 (742/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

ThePontiacBandit · 23/03/2022 19:57

I’ve just got 953 and 967…

SheilaFentiman · 23/03/2022 20:00

Hmmm, Pontiac.

Can you think of other actions that might have the same result as those two?

InMySpareTime · 23/03/2022 20:00

@ThePontiacBandit putting 953 with the word would be considered overkill.

Can anyone help with a hint? The ones I have are leading me down a rather grim path

If it was reported that someone was 605 - how might that have happened?
mysemantlehealthissuffering · 23/03/2022 20:15

Thanks for the hint @VivienneDelacroix, three more guesses and I was there. Had been stuck on the 974 and 744 line of thinking.

I solved Semantle #53 in 107 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.68. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 16.25.

Wallawallakoala · 23/03/2022 20:20

I'm getting nowhere fast today haha 80 guesses no greens!

JaneJeffer · 23/03/2022 20:26

What's your highest number @Wallawallakoala ?

candycane222 · 23/03/2022 21:03

Well my weird beginners luck kicked in today - I had no idea what Semantle was so looked at this thread, had a go while I was eating a snack ust now and - got the answer in 16! I can categoriccally state that this will never happen again. Same with Wordle. Haven't had a 2 since the first week.....

ZiaMcnab · 23/03/2022 21:36

Well, I managed to 4 greens before 8am, then didn’t even have a chance to look again till I got home 45 minutes ago but manage to find a few more very quickly but now I am stumped 😩

I have 183, 271, 273, 350, 460, 527, 726 and 926.

Can anyone please dm me a fairly hefty clue?! I am far too brain dead for this tonight 🤪

Wallawallakoala · 23/03/2022 21:41

@JaneJeffer I'm appalled to tell you it's 24.19!!!
