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 got 987 on my seventh go and 80 words later I’m no closer. I hate this stupid game.

Look at your word there...

@Redcrayons re. Your word 987. It's too long.

SoItWas · 01/04/2022 15:36

"@SoItWas991 but more slidey"

That doesn't ring any bells :(

I have 995 now, but that's just baffled me more?

I’ve got it now. Hate the game even more now. Angry

See you tomorrow.

InMySpareTime · 01/04/2022 15:40

@SoItWas what corporately happens before you 995?

SouperNoodle · 01/04/2022 15:42

@AppleKatie out of those, 985 is the closest word to 1000

BowerOfBramble · 01/04/2022 15:43

Anyone need a hint?

@BowerOfBramble

Anyone need a hint?
Yes!

I don't know if I'm barking up the wrong tree

I GOT IT.

Jesus wept.

BowerOfBramble · 01/04/2022 15:49

well done Moo!

Drawerofcrap · 01/04/2022 15:57

Got it from a clue on here so thanks to @BowerOfBramble.

I solved Semantle #62 in 148 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.61. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #19. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 43.41 (996/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

AppleKatie · 01/04/2022 16:14

Got it! But it was so annoying! 😂see you tomorrow

HikingforScenery · 01/04/2022 16:25

I’d not heard of this until today. I’ve had 54 guesses so far and my best has 37.55 similarity.

HikingforScenery · 01/04/2022 16:26

Off to read through now for clues!

ZiaMcnab · 01/04/2022 16:30

Well, I managed to miss @squirrelnutkins1’s excellent clue yesterday (thank you!) and ended up giving up, so was feeling v shame faced so extremely pleased to have found it rather quickly and, more unusually, with nary a hint, today!

ZiaMcnab · 01/04/2022 16:31

I solved Semantle #62 in 34 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.22. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 10.87. semantle.novalis.org/

JaneJeffer · 01/04/2022 16:35

I've lost the plot and am just typing any old shit in now.

ZiaMcnab · 01/04/2022 16:37

It’s a mega interesting one today; I can’t even remember which meaning I was thinking of as a link to 745 - which was my 32nd guess after finding 744 at guess 16 (so that me laugh a lot!)

MissMatty2hats · 01/04/2022 16:42

@InMySpareTime saves the day again!
Got it in 62

ZiaMcnab · 01/04/2022 16:44

Have you got any greens, @JaneJeffer?

Also, does everyone realise that if you put a word in that you’ve already guessed, it won’t count it again? Like, if you’d guessed 150 words and tried “tomato” for a second time, it would just appear as guess e.g. 25 again. I do it quite a lot, especially on days I’m over 50 guesses (as I play on a small-ish mobile so can’t be bothered to scroll!)

Sorry, this has made me laugh a lot. I have been there too. I feel very lucky I got the greens I did as I got the word via a fairly obvious route. I'd say 80% of them would have left me utterly mystified.
OneDayIWillBeOrganised · 01/04/2022 16:47

I solved Semantle #62 in 34 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.24. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.22 (854/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

A quick one today Grin
