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!

@Aroundtheworldin80moves and to be fair I haven’t got it yet, although I feel like I have every other word possible. I suppose it just feels a bit early for clues - I came on to see how people were finding it rather than looking for help!

@Doubleraspberry
Knowing the word type isn't much of a spoiler today, the word list is ok so it'll just help morning semantlers drift up the greens. I agree some days it can mean people getting it disappointingly soon and twiddling their thumbs the rest of the day, but today it should be fine.

100 guesses and I’ve got 1 green, 192
I feel like I’m at a dead end but can’t think of any more words.

Interested in this thread?

@Redcrayons think about 192 you do at home with the family.

I solved Semantle #65 in 500 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.89. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 52.43 (993/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

i think i avoided that word as i thought we had had it before, but obviously not - hurray

Spudlet · 04/04/2022 08:01

Omg, that was a slog!

I didn’t double post, mumsnet went funny

squirrelnutkins1 · 04/04/2022 08:08

I got 979 on my second guess (before I'd even looked on here) but can't get past 987! I feel like it should be on the tip of my tongue!

HoundOfTheBasketballs · 04/04/2022 08:09

Much better today, although still took me a lot of guesses. I think I prefer playing during the week when I can play on my commute and there aren't any distractions!

Sudden brainwave!

The whole time I was thinking it must be a nice, straightforward word as someone got it in two...

Alwaystired99 · 04/04/2022 08:16

Almost 150 guesses so far and ugh, just ugh.

Got 995 really quickly, but am surprised it was that closely related to the word.

Got it after a hint on here. I got myself stuck into a dead end and couldn’t think outside of it.

Lotsofpots · 04/04/2022 09:10

Only green I have is 164. Is that going to help me? I feel this one is going to take a while.

Wallawallakoala · 04/04/2022 09:17

@Lotsofpots I'm with you on this one!

I've 100% used that word as a guess just recently!
