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 gave up today and the final word was one I thought I'd typed in 🤦‍♀️

rumred · 20/03/2022 19:51

I have blighted my own day. Well slight exaggeration. 989 and 994 are my tops. I've had them for hours. Am I on the right track please?

BertieBotts · 20/03/2022 19:52

Oh I finally got it! Thank you. That was tricky! I was kind of thinking along the wrong lines. Positive vs negative is a really hard one to judge, I don't want to explain more because it gives it away.

Interested in this thread?

Will PM you @rumred

I think I was thinking along the lines of an interaction from the perspective of two people, and I was focusing on person A when I should have been focusing on person B. If that is vague enough at all!

InMySpareTime · 20/03/2022 19:57

I see what you mean, I got stuck on the passive aspect rather than the active one.

RoxieLoxy · 20/03/2022 20:22

Still stuck. Help. Again Grin

RoxieLoxy · 20/03/2022 20:25

Still on 994

JaneJeffer · 20/03/2022 20:27

Doing 994 but you don't really want to

MrsElm · 20/03/2022 20:28

@RoxieLoxy

Still on 994
Have you looked at synonyms of 994?
RoxieLoxy · 20/03/2022 20:29

@JaneJeffer at last, thanks. Got it from your clue. Can't believe I didn't get that earlier. Ah well. I'll be trying to do better at precisely midnight tonight Grin

RoxieLoxy · 20/03/2022 20:29

Thanks @MrsElm, just got it

JaneJeffer · 20/03/2022 20:37

Phew @RoxieLoxy it's a hard word to give clues for without giving it away

TakeMeToYourLiar · 20/03/2022 20:46

May I have a clue
983
971
970
Are my highest

LoganberryJam · 20/03/2022 20:54

I solved Semantle #50 in 250 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.87. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #41. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.70. semantle.novalis.org/

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 20/03/2022 21:03

Can someone please PM me a clue, I've guessed over 100 with no greens!

Bytrgrewd · 20/03/2022 21:09

@TakeMeToYourLiar if you wanted to 970 someone doing something to you what would you have to do?

Bytrgrewd · 20/03/2022 21:12

Done!

Bytrgrewd · 20/03/2022 21:12

That was meat to be to @AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 20/03/2022 21:22

Got it in bang on 100 guesses after hours of agonising over synonyms. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 at self for not realising atonyms could be a thing.

fuckwhatshouldido · 20/03/2022 21:24

I liked today’s! Thought it was interesting. Got it in 71. Also mostly just placemarking, missed yesterday’s and the old thread was full by the time I looked today! Lots of semantle fans now Grin

ElegantlyTouched · 20/03/2022 21:28

I solved Semantle #50 in 185 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.55. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.92. semantle.novalis.org/

Only got it by googling a clue given earlier. Have absolutely no idea how my highest words are connected! 🤣
