Progressed to 954… never had so many 20-something similarities so I’m clearly on the wrong track here!!

Wallawallakoala · 27/03/2022 12:25

@Lotsofpots I think @inmysparetime has given a great clue! I was going to say 730 is a trait that could be described as ..

@BabbleBee 954 is related loosely but what else do you have?

BabbleBee · 27/03/2022 12:32

@Wallawallakoala these are all of my greens

[quote InMySpareTime]@squirrelnutkins1 if you have 600 and 985 you're 2/3 of the way to the answer.[/quote]
AUGH! Thank you, clue is indeed genius.

I solved Semantle #57 in 61 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.90. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 41.63 (898/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I did it in 45, and incredibly enough had no greens. I had a couple of guesses with a similarity of about 29 which should be just outside the greens, and then tried an antonym of them and Bingo!! Has been the best thing about mothers day so far Grin

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 27/03/2022 12:53

Just looking at the words... 745 🤔

IWishMyUsernameWasX · 27/03/2022 12:53

Indeed! Thank you 😊

Finally! Thank you @Wallawallakoala for the hint, I didn’t get it from that but when I finally got there it made sense!

@FlippyFloppyFlappy see also 557. There are some horribly racist terms in there, (35, 683 and 433😱), but I really want to use 718 as an insult someday.

RoxieLoxy · 27/03/2022 13:13

...goes to Google what 716 means...

Wallawallakoala · 27/03/2022 13:25

I'm so sorry my message sent a thousand times @babblebee dodgy signal!

BowerOfBramble · 27/03/2022 13:38

193 goes for me today before I got it. Feeling quite nostalgic for the days of bat!

RoxieLoxy · 27/03/2022 13:40

@HeadacheGrey an ordinary 716 will never seem so innocent to us now 😫😆

JaneJeffer · 27/03/2022 13:52

It's maddening today Angry

It's enough to put you off them for life 😆

ThePontiacBandit · 27/03/2022 14:03

This took me ages! I faffed around low greens for ages and then I went round the high greens. I feel like the high greens close to the word were much fluffier..I found myself thinking “Is it just x?”. Clues helped once I was in high greens.

I solved Semantle #57 in 163 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.72. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #41. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.97. semantle.novalis.org/

Painful today, got there in the end

I solved Semantle #57 in 124 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.23. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #60. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 19.09. semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #57 in 55 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -4.30. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #55. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.13. semantle.novalis.org/

I was struggling with no greens in 50 guesses and no idea where to go from my top words. I read a clue here about a 'depressing' theme and typed in a few depressing things and found it on my 4th guess. The target word was my first green.

I feel a little cheated of the excitement of working up through the low greens to higher and higher numbers though. Semantle is as much about the journey as the result.

I've got 40 something greens and I'm stuck on 998. Help

InMySpareTime · 27/03/2022 15:31

How does 998 show in fiction?

JaneJeffer · 27/03/2022 15:38

I don't know!! Waaaah! I hate this game
