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!

@FooFighter99

Stuck on 854 😢 can someone please give me a clue? Didn’t manage to get yesterday’s either 😭
A lot of pregnant women who are offered 854 respond by doing this.

I’ve got to 991, going round in circles

poppym12 · 20/03/2022 14:07

I'm relatively new to semantle but really enjoying it.

Today's was an arse to get spot on though. I had a page full of green guesses before I finally got it.

Is there any way to play past ones? I'm on holiday at the moment being extremely lazy so it might be a good idea to challenge my brain a bit!

SouperNoodle · 20/03/2022 14:09

Any clues? Can't get past 970 😣

There's a site with a semantle archive, plus it's own - it has a different interface though.

@BowerOfBramble

Oh my flipping lord! Would never have got that despite help if not for *@ErrolTheDragon*’s ingenious and subtle clue. Thanks everyone!
I don't think anyone else noticed it, perhaps their thinking isn't, er, warped?Grin

@SouperNoodle

If you are able to do 1000 you will 970
VivienneDelacroix · 20/03/2022 14:23

Finally! But only because DH had a look and suggested 994.

Gingerkittykat · 20/03/2022 14:27

I'm on guess 120 and my top two are 970 and then 890.

Can someone give me a clue, please?

SheilaFentiman · 20/03/2022 14:29

Got it in 72

JaneJeffer · 20/03/2022 14:39

@Gingerkittykat see my clue below

ZiaMcnab · 20/03/2022 14:48

Well I thought I was doing quite well when I got my 1st green at guess 10, then found 2 more relatively quickly but I’ve done my usual of getting stuck because I have those low greens too high in my mind and my mind on one track! I will keep trying but look at the state of this!

InMySpareTime · 20/03/2022 14:55

@ZiaMcnab when you 308 or 159, what makes it harder?

ZiaMcnab · 20/03/2022 15:00

Oh thanks @InMySpareTime that’s given me 754 straight away so hopefully I can get there from here!

InMySpareTime · 20/03/2022 15:02

754 is a verb not a noun

ThePontiacBandit · 20/03/2022 15:05

Finally! I was so close but my greens didn’t quite lead me there for ages..
I solved Semantle #50 in 185 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 19.37. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.44. semantle.novalis.org/

InMySpareTime · 20/03/2022 15:10

If a door was starting to 754, how could you tell?

DifferentDrum · 20/03/2022 15:28

Help!
I've got 991, 989, 984, 983, 981. Looked at clues here but not helping. Please someone tell me or pm me if I'm looking for a synonym (ish) of these words??
