Semantle 5

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!

Ignore that. That was an accident. I've reported it

SouperNoodle · 20/03/2022 15:36

Close your eyes everyone 🙈 it's not the word so don't worry. I'm such an idiot. Meant to put it into the game. I've reported it 3 times so hopefully it'll disappear in a minute

Thank you MNHQ 😂🥰

DifferentDrum · 20/03/2022 15:40

Thought you'd given me a clue Souper but I tried that word ages ago! 😆

JaneJeffer · 20/03/2022 15:44

@DifferentDrum a less insulting 981 maybe?

SheilaFentiman · 20/03/2022 15:45

Drum, 984 seems different to your other ones in meaning, so less helpful.

DifferentDrum · 20/03/2022 15:49

@JaneJeffer thanks but can't think of anything similar I haven't already tried!

SouperNoodle · 20/03/2022 15:51

I'm up to 993 😣

SheilaFentiman · 20/03/2022 15:52

993 is a close one!

Haudyourwheesht · 20/03/2022 15:58

Very quick today.

I solved Semantle #50 in 41 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.92. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.90. semantle.novalis.org/

DifferentDrum · 20/03/2022 16:07

For the first time I've given up and looked at the answer! Tough one today I thought.

ZiaMcnab · 20/03/2022 16:47

Thank you @InMySpareTime but I am way too dense for those clues it turns out! Only green I’ve managed to find is 143 and that was on guess 100 😩 This bloody game, I swear it’s killing brain cells! 😂

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/03/2022 16:49

@HeadacheGrey
i only tried pemantle once and did not like it!

BabbleBee · 20/03/2022 16:49

@ZiaMcnab I can pm a different clue?

ZiaMcnab · 20/03/2022 16:56

Yes please @BabbleBee I’ve tried about 15 more words now, all cold! Quite an achievement thinking about it, but SO infuriating!

ZiaMcnab · 20/03/2022 17:12

Thanks v much for the dm @BabbleBee esp for the warning! I’m going to leave it a bit to see if inspiration strikes while I make dinner but expect I’ll have to open it in an hour or so!

didntlikethis · 20/03/2022 17:47

Stuck on 995 and I have things to do!

ZiaMcnab · 20/03/2022 18:07

@didntlikethis think of a similar word to 995 that’s more physical

ZiaMcnab · 20/03/2022 18:10

Well that was my worst one ever. I do not understand why this game is so hard, it’s not like any of the target words since I’ve been playing (game 32) are unusual at all! Anyway, massive thanks to @babblebee for the clue that stopped me losing my mind!

I solved Semantle #50 in 108 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.69. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 32.82 (676/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

AliasGrape · 20/03/2022 18:11

I cannot get past 989. Driving me insane. Am I looking for a word that means similar to 989 (I don’t see how as I swear I’ve tried them all)

InMySpareTime · 20/03/2022 18:18

@AliasGrape like 989 but more attritional.

Elisheva · 20/03/2022 18:18

Thank you @ErrolTheDragon. Terry Pratchett and Star Trek are two of my favourite things too.

Clarkey86 · 20/03/2022 18:19

Heeeelp

I only have 731 and 754 and I’m like 200 guesses in….
