Semantle 7

[ElegantlyTouched]

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!

[quote InMySpareTime]@squirrelnutkins1 the 300s will lead you astray, it's independent of that. What maintains the others? [/quote]
Thank you, will keep thinking!! X

Woot! That clue got me to 981, then 988, then the answer.

109 overallt

It was actually 833 not 880 I had, but the thinking opposite thing worked wonders to get me onto the right thoughtline

@SheilaFentiman it's actually a bit depressing how useful that clue was.

I solved Semantle #61 in 81 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.92. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #36. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 55.90 (981/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Smashed it today, with a little help from relatedwords.org

Oh my days there are no more words in my brain 🙈🙈🙈

Relatively quick for me today and I didn’t need to Google synonyms for once!

Thanks for the clue! I had no greens after 100 guesses but I got it in 3 after reading this

@InMySpareTime I made a few new non green guesses as well

98 guesses and only 1 very low green (70).
I'm very lacking in inspiration for words today.

I hate this game!!

I got stuck at 787 which has virtually nothing to do with the actual word. Just a bit of random guessing for me there.

Placemarking while I gird my loins to start

No greens yet gaaah I've got the dentist in 20 mins I'm determined to get one before I go in

963, 917 and 403. Any clues?

@Idroppedthescrewinthetuna 403 a bit of a red herring. For the others, maybe think about how.

Yay!

Brought my average down after a couple of bad days. Now 81.10

Very similar @FooFighter99!

Weirdly my penultimate guess was actually at 999 not 987. Not that it matters but it means the summary can be wrong.

Interestingly, for the first time, several of my (linked) cold guesses also led me to get to the right answer quite quickly. Before, they've sent me down the wrong path.

Oooh a new game, thank you - beginners luck, I guess!
