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!

@Heronatemygoldfish

Could someone tell me if 943 is a synonym or antonym please?
An antonym, I was stuck on that for ages.

@pukkapine

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!
I would say 993 is the most useful of those.

I solved Semantle #50 in 143 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.04. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.44. semantle.novalis.org/

Oh my god, I made heavy weather of that! Always such an obvious, straightforward word!

Interested in this thread?

I solved Semantle #50 in 167 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.38. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #33. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 32.60 (657/1000).

Need to do better tomorrow as my average is getting pretty crap!

While I’m here can anyone remember the name of the site with things similar to Semantle but there’s a map of where your guess is in relation to the word?

Heronatemygoldfish · 20/03/2022 10:25

I'm feeding synonyms in as fast as I can!

I'm stuck on 946 and if it's antonyms I'm after I can't think of any. Good job I've nit much else to do today (other than looking after my toddler!).
