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!

I've been stuck at 882 for over 100 guesses. Confused
I have lots of words with a similar meaning to 882, but they are all in the 800s and 700s, so I presume I'm on a completely wrong track!

882 can be used in somewhat different contexts. When might you want to ... someone's aims?

990 was the most useful clue I think
I solved Semantle #50 in 32 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 37.55 (890/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.69 (304/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Yeah cannot get higher that 991! This is so frustrating, I've never had this many greens and still not got it!

VivienneDelacroix · 20/03/2022 11:35

Thank you @ErrolTheDragon, that has got me to 987. Smile

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/03/2022 11:36

i was on 988 for a long time

InMySpareTime · 20/03/2022 11:49

I solved Semantle #50 in 391 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.42. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.53 (289/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

That was a slog, I had far too many greens before getting there, my first green was guess 2 FFS. I swear I'm usually intelligent and erudite, just not today!

Heronatemygoldfish · 20/03/2022 12:02

Augh. Finally.
I solved Semantle #50 in 132 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.95. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 28.49 (102/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

You're usually first in with the tips 😂
I found today's tough.

I’m missing something, feels like I’m covering all bases but can’t be! Gah!

InMySpareTime · 20/03/2022 13:01

@usethedata 946 is a blind alley, what else do you have?

BabbleBee · 20/03/2022 13:03

So many close together…. 🤯

InMySpareTime · 20/03/2022 13:24

@usethedata 993 is a bit better, in the political sense.
