Since weve almost managed to fill our 6th thread I thought I should start the next so we have somewhere to sc

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 followthis linkand prepare to lose your sanity.

If you want to see how we've been getting on up to now our previous thread ishere. 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've just tried this for the first time, thanks to this thread. I thought it would be impossible when I first started, but I got it eventually (51st try).

@Aroundtheworldin80moves places that are largely 960 use this to check we're still on board.

SheilaFentiman · 31/03/2022 07:42

76 guesses in and I only have 340 and 114

SheilaFentiman · 31/03/2022 07:47

Are 340 and 114 anything like the right track?

InMySpareTime · 31/03/2022 07:49

@SheilaFentiman the word is 340 to America, less so here.

squirrelnutkins1 · 31/03/2022 07:49

Do I need to think broader? Feel like I'm stuck on a route that could be wrong but can't get out of it Confused
Well done to the speedy ones!

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 31/03/2022 07:52

I've now got 880 to add to my list

InMySpareTime · 31/03/2022 07:54

@squirrelnutkins1 the 300s will lead you astray, it's independent of that. What maintains the others?

InMySpareTime · 31/03/2022 07:55

@Aroundtheworldin80moves it's literally the opposite of that!

SheilaFentiman · 31/03/2022 07:59

Thank you
