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!

Nerdle or Mathler are two I do. Mathler has 3 levels.

I didn't realise Mathler had 3 levels, I've been doing the middle one all this time and tbh didn't find it very challenging. Just tried the hard level, and well maybe I shouldn't have 🤦‍♀️ I didn't even see the brackets until the end when I failed miserably 😆

@BIWI received and none the wiser Confused

Finally, and only with your help!

I solved Semantle #62 in 100 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.55. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.03 (14/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

BowerOfBramble · 02/04/2022 01:26

Gone absolutely mental with this next one - over 100 guesses with only one green. It’s 234 if anyone solves it overnight and feels like helping a Semantler out Smile

semantlename · 02/04/2022 02:07

Hit green on 25, highest is 986 so far, guess 37. Now on guess 66 and rattling my brain for similar words 😅

semantlename · 02/04/2022 02:15

I solved Semantle #63 in 98 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.28. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #25. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.66 (977/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Woo! Not as good as yesterday 😅 but there without any hints

You could actually get it in one guess from that word, I don't think I would without the other associations but it could certainly happen. Especially if you're aware of Americanisms, but don't focus on that or you'll probably get lost. (I wouldn't call this a clue at all as I think you need the general gist to connect this)

Feel free to message me for clues, anyone, and I'll reply when I can!

jumblehigher · 02/04/2022 03:00

Took me ages to get any greens with this one!

DinosaursEatMan · 02/04/2022 03:22

81 guesses and I still haven’t got a green.

Had to pick the teenager up from a party at 1am and more or less have been doing this since I got back. She, of course, has gone straight to sleep 🙈

Choux · 02/04/2022 03:42

So many greens, so little idea. Despite getting 914 on my 6th guess am now almost 200 guesses in and still haven't worked it out.

You've pigeonholed yourself. I did, but on another theme, I then opened it up and went more broadly.

Go lower and start on a different trail from sone less specific words or screenshot me your words in a message and I'll name one or two to try to start you again from so I'm not searching each of them.

semantlename · 02/04/2022 04:07

Oooh or 897 is a good one Choix. Re-work from there.

Choux · 02/04/2022 04:37

I solved Semantle #63 in 306 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -4.91. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.77 (968/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

A lot of guesses required - so many of my greens were so similar yet still took 300 guesses to happen upon the target word.

MrsElm · 02/04/2022 05:53

I solved Semantle #63 in 70 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.63. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 27.58 (773/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Very pleased today, no clues, hints or synonym hunting on Google.

MrsElm · 02/04/2022 05:55

Does anyone else have a certain feeling of anti climax when you solve it relatively quickly?

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 02/04/2022 06:42

I solved Semantle #63 in 83 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.07. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #53. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 46.50 (993/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

My average is below 200 after a few better days.
