I got a green quite early on and still took ages to get there.

I solved Semantle #60 in 58 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.80. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 55.64 (995/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

SheilaFentiman · 30/03/2022 08:37

79 guesses today

SheilaFentiman · 30/03/2022 08:39

My first green was guess 34 and that was 32/1000! Though I can see the link on all 11 of my greens today.

Coord · 30/03/2022 08:40

148, I found that one pretty hard.

JustLurkingAway · 30/03/2022 08:43

Stuck on 994 if anyone fancies giving me a hint?Grin

I solved Semantle #60 in 44 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.82. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 44.47 (970/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

InMySpareTime · 30/03/2022 08:48

@JustLurkingAway the word is a basic element of 994.

BowerOfBramble · 30/03/2022 08:52

Found it in 85. Highly irritating as I tried all its friends about 40 guesses earlier. Glad to have got it though! And looking at the list I was lucky I had loads in the top 100 cos I only know about half of those words Grin

AliasGrape · 30/03/2022 08:55

Was getting loads of high greens from about 10 guesses in - one of my usual starting words was green and only a few jumps from there - so I thought ‘oh I’ll get this any minute, quite an easy one’.

Still took me over 50 and a lot of swearing.

I solved Semantle #60 in 53 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.33. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 60.82 (998/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Saisong · 30/03/2022 08:59

93 for me today, took aaaages to get a green. I need better starting words.

HadEnoughOfBears · 30/03/2022 09:00

I am 170 guesses in and only two (low) greens!
Anyone help??

@HadEnoughOfBears

I am 170 guesses in and only two (low) greens! Anyone help??
Which ones?
ItsDinah · 30/03/2022 09:02

Got it in 12 guesses! My first green guess was my 8th at 33.55 similarity and I didn't get any other green guesses.

HadEnoughOfBears · 30/03/2022 09:04

@Aroundtheworldin80moves

13/1000 and 327/1000 🙈🙈

If you make those things, what do you follow? (Sorry its a bit vague...)

DinosaursEatMan · 30/03/2022 09:07

Got it in 13 today, after 185 yesterday. Total fluke with two greens, 37 then 998.

HadEnoughOfBears · 30/03/2022 09:24

@Aroundtheworldin80moves
Thank you! Took me another 50-odd guesses but I got there!

RoxieLoxy · 30/03/2022 09:31

@Doubleraspberry well it ended up being a very useful accidental clue for some of us Grin

BowerOfBramble · 30/03/2022 09:33

I’m a bit worried that some people think of this word in their first 20 words and I had to resort to a thesaurus Grin - pretty sure it says bad things about me

LoganberryJam · 30/03/2022 09:36

So many greens before I got it!

Lots of random guesses and then suddenly got 987! Not entirely sure of the link with the final word though Confused
