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!

Hang on that's similarly, is that what I mean? Ive no greens not one not a glimpse of emerald relief yet!

I don't think I'm in the frame of mind for this today haha

ThePontiacBandit · 23/03/2022 21:45

I finally got it! Thanks for the clues. I’m not well and my brain was slow but I got there finally.

I solved Semantle #53 in 180 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.90. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #42. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 60.21 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I'm on 105 and no greens 😂😂😂

Waaaa just got 734 randomly

Wallawallakoala · 23/03/2022 21:56

967!

InMySpareTime · 23/03/2022 22:09

@Wallawallakoala past tense, different insertion

Donatella · 23/03/2022 22:09

@Wallawallakoala

967!
OK, you're close now. Think of 967 as a means of doing something, then think of other means of doing that.

So this game is actually quite difficult, isn't it? I'm feeling a bit awkward now....

ZiaMcnab · 23/03/2022 22:18

I keep finding words in the 700s, but nothing higher than 926, it’s so frustrating!

Donatella · 23/03/2022 22:21

Yeah, 926 really isn't going to help you. I can see why it's there, but it would take a massive leap of imagination to get there on your own.

Try thinking outside the box in terms of 926, things that could be described as 926 which are very very different to what you would usually use one for. Not sure that will be helpful but struggling to think how to word it without giving too much away

MargaretThursday · 23/03/2022 22:32

First time I've got it-got it in 75!
Got down a rabbit hole for a while, and the guess was a little random.

Pawtriarchal · 23/03/2022 22:37

That was painful. As the answer would likely be.

ZiaMcnab · 23/03/2022 22:37

Oh, thanks @Donatella, that’s good to know, I’ll try for a little bit longer then

WildImaginings · 23/03/2022 22:43

There is hope! I suddenly jumped into the 900's after over 100 guesses and then got it in about 4 further guesses!!

ErrolTheDragon · 23/03/2022 22:44

@ZiaMcnab

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 🤪

Think of 527 926 and how to get the latter into the former
JaneJeffer · 23/03/2022 22:46

Great clue @ErrolTheDragon

ZiaMcnab · 23/03/2022 23:00

Thanks @ErrolTheDragon that immediately gave me 803 and, other than 765, I cannot for the life of me think how I’d get a 926 into a 527 😭

ZiaMcnab · 23/03/2022 23:01

Ugh, and now 805! What is wrong with me?!!

Donatella · 23/03/2022 23:05

@ZiaMcnab

Thanks *@ErrolTheDragon* that immediately gave me 803 and, other than 765, I cannot for the life of me think how I’d get a 926 into a 527 😭
Oh you're so close! Think of more slang terms for 765 in that context, or a way you might congratulate someone for a particularly good/tricky example of 765ing the 926 into a 527.
ZiaMcnab · 23/03/2022 23:11

Right, thank you @Donatella I’m giving it some thought while I ready myself for bed and hopefully inspiration will strike!

Wallawallakoala · 23/03/2022 23:17

How am I not getting it! These clues are great and I'm getting greens I'm going to kick myself when I find out the answer!!

ZiaMcnab · 23/03/2022 23:19

Ha, that’s only revealed 836 & 968. Grrrrrrr!

Wallawallakoala · 23/03/2022 23:22

Send help please!

WildImaginings · 23/03/2022 23:23

Put 527 in front of 926 and think of what someone participating in that would do with the 926. Then play around with tenses.

Wallawallakoala · 23/03/2022 23:24

I was so sure it was 957... Then it was just 957
