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!

@Wallawallakoala 967. Think of a different method.

JaneJeffer · 23/03/2022 23:26

@Wallawallakoala what might have been used for 750 and what could a real one have done?

Oh my Christ thank you thank you!!

@Wallawallakoala

Send help please!
Okay if someone was 953 what might happen to them? How else could this happen to someone? Your sentence might be "Someone was 953 today," The target word could also fit into that sentence. It doesn't mean the same, but the outcome could be the same.

Well, thanks v much for trying @WildImaginings, @Donatella & @ErrolTheDragon but I’ve definitely exhausted my knowledge of 527-926 and, it would appear, the English language, so I’m off to give up and hope it doesn’t induce too much self loathing 😢🤷🏻‍♀️😂

JaneJeffer · 23/03/2022 23:35

Thank so much, all. Nice to feel I’ve achieved something today, even if it was really all of you achieving it for me! I may even be able to sleep properly tonight now; damn this game to hell and thank the lord for it!
