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!

@Jacopo

Just want to say that wordle/nerdle/semantle and all are such a breath of clean fresh air in a world of TikTok idiocy and joyless online porn. One of the best things from 2022 so far!
totally agree!

What’s the number version of Wordle please?

@BabbleBee

What’s the number version of Wordle please?
Nerdle or Mathler are two I do. Mathler has 3 levels.

Anyone done the fun Squardle today?

@ErrolTheDragon What might you have to do with the results of a 481 session?

I had nothing higher than 13.80 (only 25 guesses). I read your clue and got 996 😅

And now got the answer.

I solved Semantle #62 in 26 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.55. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #25. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 43.41 (996/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I’ve enjoyed it.

ThePontiacBandit · 01/04/2022 20:34

My best result so far! Got a green with 445 on guess 9 that took me there quite easily! Usually way over 100 so I’m chuffed with this!

Did anyone play Squardle today?

BabbleBee · 01/04/2022 20:55

@MargaretThursday thanks!

ScrambledSmegs · 01/04/2022 20:55

I promise you I was absolutely stuck today, I got no higher greens that 847. Then bam!

Cornishmumofone · 01/04/2022 20:56

Help! I just don't seem to be getting anywhere today. This is what I've got so far: 986, 981, 980, 946, 923, 914, 897, 865, 853, 827...

MargaretThursday · 01/04/2022 21:05

@Aroundtheworldin80moves

@Aroundtheworldin80moves Yes, got it out when I realised the lack of vowels and hence the language for (if I remember rightly) at least 2 words.

The suggestion upthread of thinking about the words you have in a professional/business sense might help?

Although I got there via a completely different route - as usual homonyms might take you in completely the wrong direction, or give you the right answer with the 'wrong' meaning!

Cornishmumofone · 01/04/2022 21:34

I solved Semantle #62 in 237 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.49. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #22. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.67 (189/1000). semantle.novalis.org/ Finally got it!!!

AppleKatie · 01/04/2022 21:36

Think about 986 in a university context perhaps? Sorry if that’s a rubbish hint.

MustBeDueSomeBetterFeet · 01/04/2022 21:50

Again, a total guess and zero greens before I got it!

I solved Semantle #62 in 31 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.71. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #31. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 11.62. semantle.novalis.org/

SomethingVexesThee · 01/04/2022 22:21

Inspired by this thread, I tried Semantle for the first time today. Solved in 42 guesses.

Huge frustration to get to that point though! And I can't see how some of my higher scoring guesses were closer than other "cold" guesses. Clearly haven't got the hang of it yet Grin

Redcrayons · 01/04/2022 22:21

Easiest Heardle ever today!

The rankings really aren't at all exact.
