I've not got 600 ☹️

squirrelnutkins1 · 27/03/2022 09:41

You inspired me tho!

I solved Semantle #57 in 130 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.48. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #35. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.14 (854/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

@squirrelnutkins1 I got there exactly the same way 😁

Thanks for the hint @Wallawallakoala

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 27/03/2022 09:52

I have 28 of the 900s, including 998. And including 985, but clue didn’t help Sad

Wow. I have to say this was genius. I didn't have either of these ones but I read your hint again and worked it out from that 😅

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 27/03/2022 10:27

I think you must all be doing a different one to me. I don’t want to give up on Mother’s Day…

HoundOfTheBasketballs · 27/03/2022 10:29

I've got a terrible hangover which meant I used a different starting word today, and it was green!

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 27/03/2022 10:46

I am on guess 70 with no green words. But so many high cold words all on same track. Trying to steer away from it but then getting nothing but low cold words.
This is going to annoy me today! I have had a few bad days. I think my last good day was 'rocket'

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 27/03/2022 10:48

@HoundOfTheBasketballs actually reading you did well with hangover and the track I was already on I just hit 834 green word. So thank you for getting drunk and feeling crap this morning Grin

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 27/03/2022 10:55

998 now. Got my kids shouting words at me!

fancyfrogs · 27/03/2022 10:58

34 greens and I swear there are no more words!!
990, 993, 994, 997,998...

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 27/03/2022 11:02

@fancyfrogs I am with you. I had no green words, now I have so many I can't think of any new words.
My kids are now shouting out words that I am sure they have made up but trying them anyway in desperation 😂

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 27/03/2022 11:16

@fancyfrogs

34 greens and I swear there are no more words!! 990, 993, 994, 997,998...
Oh I can tell you there are loads more words… given I’ve currently got over 70 greens!

Keep going @Idroppedthescrewinthetuna 😁

BabbleBee · 27/03/2022 11:26

Almost 100 guesses and can’t get any higher than 887. Good job I’ve got a long car journey today!

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 27/03/2022 11:37

I gave up, after 300+. It’s not a tricky one so I don’t know why I didn’t find it in the synonyms. I understand the clue now too!

Lotsofpots · 27/03/2022 11:47

Highest I've managed so far is 730. Am I on the right track? None of the synonyms and antonyms I've tried have got me any further...

730 is the right sentiment but not a synonym
InMySpareTime · 27/03/2022 11:55

@Lotsofpots what does 730 look like? Especially in fiction.
