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!

80 guesses in and no greens yet. I'm sat in a busy A&E waiting room hoping for a distraction from possible gall stones. I've already been told I look peaky, urgh.
You poor thing! Gallstones are the worst!

@SouperNoodle

I'm so confused
472 is probably your closest...think how you could 472 something

I solved Semantle #64 in 177 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.62. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #40. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 5.70. semantle.novalis.org/

Thank you @purplecardigan

I have 443 and 534, I've tried synonyms of these greens and not got anything higher. Random words... Are either any use?

SouperNoodle · 03/04/2022 12:18

@purplecardigan I've exhausted everything I can think of and it's all cold 🙈

Neither are helpful in the slightest, sorry!
Wallawallakoala · 03/04/2022 12:21

Hahaha I didn't think so, I'll keep going!

The route in which you could 472 your 929?

Wallawallakoala · 03/04/2022 12:22

Oh just got 860 and 924, any better?

It's not the best clue but could possibly help.

OdeToAutumn · 03/04/2022 12:23

I have 936, 929, 898, 873.. can’t think of any other words that are similar

MrsLargeEmbodied · 03/04/2022 12:24

i looked for synonyms for 929

A person who is 924 may speak to you like this

Thank you!!!! I saw your comment and I got it!!!

I solved Semantle #64 in 130 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.22. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #40. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 11.44. semantle.novalis.org/

Oh no, I'm not sure this game is the best thing for you. It's so annoying Grin

I think I'm better just guessing random words, the greens don't seem to help at all.
I solved Semantle #64 in 145 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.25. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #83. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.44 (564/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Alwaystired99 · 03/04/2022 12:44

Over 100 guesses and still no greens. I feel too rough to read so having to put up with the annoyance and frustrations of this game while trying to ignore the cannula in my arm. This is doing nothing for my health anxiety!

Alwaystired99 · 03/04/2022 12:45

I've started trying random words on hospital posters!

Could work!
Wallawallakoala · 03/04/2022 12:50

That's so odd I thought I tried this on response to the first clue!!??!

I solved Semantle #64 in 90 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.25. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.50 (775/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

JaneJeffer · 03/04/2022 12:55

Grrrrr

BowerOfBramble · 03/04/2022 13:02

Yet again the person who does this is cold! Like when we had present but “presenter” was cold. I just don’t understand how that can be.

DifferentDrum · 03/04/2022 13:03

I solved Semantle #64 in 141 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -7.01. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #24. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.42 (931/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

That was a struggle. Lots of green words which were all stronger than the actual target word.
