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!

@Wallawallakoala I feel you, I’m over 150 in with not a single green! I’ll go and try some of the most American words I can think of but I don’t hold out much hope!

I solved Semantle #61 in 112 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.62. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #111. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 86.44 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I mean thank you @Aroundtheworldin80moves I appreciate your message but I have no idea how I got from what you said to this!!!!

Wallawallakoala · 31/03/2022 20:07

@ZiaMcnab I don't even think it's that american. I am in shock that I just got it. I did one word that was cold, then a word related that was 999!? Then got it.

Interested in this thread?

Did it all by myself Grin

SouperNoodle · 31/03/2022 20:34

I'm still stuck 🤦‍♀️ I've not been able to get it without clues for days

semantlename · 31/03/2022 20:38

I'm sure the clues today have frazzled me more! Mechanism for 957. And America. I'm so lost.

MrsElm · 31/03/2022 20:43

@semantlename 957, but the people choose....

MrsElm · 31/03/2022 20:46

@SouperNoodle what greens do you have?

Wallawallakoala · 31/03/2022 20:52

I don't understand how my highest cold word is cold and the word I put after that was basically the target word???? Sorry I know that won't mean anything but I just don't understand the logic sometimes!!

LadyMacduff · 31/03/2022 20:54

ZiaMcnab · 31/03/2022 21:42

I’m now on 170 guesses and still not a green in sight 😩

Ulysses · 31/03/2022 21:44

Placemarking. I've not done much over the past few days.

semantlename · 31/03/2022 21:45

Yeah I'm still not getting it. I'm wondering if it's a word I haven't heard before
