@SouperNoodle random is better than 841. I don't know why that's even on the list.

I solved Semantle #59 in 23 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.72. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #20. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 6.27. semantle.novalis.org/

I only had one green one and it was 28/1000 but I think it was the best clue!

Doubleraspberry · 29/03/2022 07:56

Inspired to get my first green by something I saw in the bathroom! (Not a clue I promise - it’s a silly connection.)

I solved Semantle #59 in 53 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.00. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #37. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 64.87 (994/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I hate this game!

I got my first one 34, thought I was a genius and now I’m hooked.

I set myself a limit of 100 guesses before I give up though.

Going in for today’s torture.

Quick one today unusually for me! One of my standard first guesses was green and quickly led from there. Felt this one flowed better than usual too.

OublietteBravo · 29/03/2022 08:18

I didn’t seem to go through as many green answers to get there today.

ChuckBerrysBoots · 29/03/2022 08:22

Relatively quick for me today, even if my first green was a result of me dozing off and randomly entering some letters!

Please can I have a clue for 977 before I go out of my mind

comfortablyfrumpy · 29/03/2022 08:26

Just discovered this. It might be strangely addictive :D

I didn't enjoy it today. It made me feel irritable.

Steala · 29/03/2022 08:39

I would have been there sooner, had 28 not been so low and 766 so high.

I think that's part if what makes the game fascinating. Our brains associate words differently to computer analysis.

Several times I've got it from very low greens with what seems like obvious associations. Yesterday I got the answer from Read. All the close words related to the physical item of a newspaper.

BowerOfBramble · 29/03/2022 08:49

Ooooh that was annoying! Direct synonym is way down at number 28. I got a high green on my fourth guess and then Fannied around for ages

That was HARD work today. An early low green sent me off on a complete wild goose chase, and only a couple of clues on here got me back on track somewhere around 200 guesses. Exhausting!

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 29/03/2022 08:54

Is it a synonym of 998?

InMySpareTime · 29/03/2022 08:56

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz opposite

I had a disastrous couple of days where I gave up but did it quickly today in 15 Grin that slightly makes up for having covid Smile
