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!

209 was my very first guess. Took me ages to get another green from there and it was a random one.

Thinking about the theme but stuck, I'm not from that world

ChuckBerrysBoots · 02/04/2022 17:56

I don’t think any of those are hugely helpful unfortunately @gogohm

gogohm · 02/04/2022 18:01

Thank you

I solved Semantle #63 in 78 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #37. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 36.93 (962/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

@gogohm they’re not helpful words! The only. Clue would vero think about what 3 of them describe.

Redcrayons · 02/04/2022 18:32

Ffs, I’m getting worse.

I solved Semantle #63 in 147 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #24. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.66 (977/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

BertieBotts · 02/04/2022 18:38

Oh I thought that was tricky today. In the UK I feel like we only use this word in one specific context, I did know it though from computer games.

didntlikethis · 02/04/2022 19:12

Any hints please? I have 986 and 953.

I went on a detour today before coming to 993 which helped a lot.

Londoner256 · 02/04/2022 20:01

Getting a bit stuck now. My best are 940, 897, 883, 880 which are all quite related

JaneJeffer · 02/04/2022 20:03

@Londoner256 longer 883

purplecardigan · 02/04/2022 20:04

Can I get a hint? Nearest I have is 914 but I'm baffled.

JaneJeffer · 02/04/2022 20:06

@purplecardigan where do you get your 914 from? Beginning with same letter

NaiceLeftie · 02/04/2022 20:13

That was difficult Smile

Confused so confused. Now have 880 but everything else is cold. Will keep thinking!

Bytrgrewd · 02/04/2022 20:15

I now have so many greens but still stuck!
My highest are 982, 969, 951

JaneJeffer · 02/04/2022 20:15

You're on the right track @purplecardigan @InMySpareTime has a helpful clue below!

AppleKatie · 02/04/2022 20:15

940, is related in the sense that they are found in the same place in RL.

InMySpareTime · 02/04/2022 20:18

@purplecardigan 914 from someone on a street.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/04/2022 20:19

Now have 880 but everything else is cold. Will keep thinking!

880 is relevant - think about what/who etc

InMySpareTime · 02/04/2022 20:22

@purplecardigan American internet 880 outgoing.

purplecardigan · 02/04/2022 20:25

Phew got it! Tough one today. Wouldn't have got it without the clues so thank you both 😊
