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!

Somehow I doubt it - Been a long while since it did that Grin

I was lucky - I stumbled on the right path quite early on. Odd that green words only seem to follow one of the meanings.

I solved Semantle #62 in 52 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.93. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #30. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 5.01. semantle.novalis.org/

SouperNoodle · 01/04/2022 09:50

I solved Semantle #62 in 35 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.67. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 2.96. semantle.novalis.org/

Woohoo! Did it without clues today

DoorLion · 01/04/2022 09:57

I wish there was some way of logging in to Semantle - I start off on my phone but if I don't get it before work I use my laptop, but then my guess-count and averages go to pot (my laptop thinks I am a genius because I often type in the word which I got earlier in the day so i can see what numbers people are talking about on this thread!).

(Currently on 189 and counting...)

BestIsWest · 01/04/2022 10:06

Nope still not a clue

MzHz · 01/04/2022 10:17

I got 989 after 84 guesses… another hundred guesses and I’m no nearer

Do I have to regroup and get random again?

Doubleraspberry · 01/04/2022 10:38

@MzHz I have to say I personally couldn't get from 989 to the answer. My brain just doesn't connect them. I think the link sits in the verb form of the answer, if that helps at all, but I can't see how it is so high up.

Someone may now come along and point out a totally obvious link that I've overlooked!

Heronatemygoldfish · 01/04/2022 10:42

I've got to 945 and tbh I could do with it happening!

Doubleraspberry · 01/04/2022 10:43

@Heronatemygoldfish - Think of doing that in a very professional context?

BowerOfBramble · 01/04/2022 10:43

I agree I wouldn't get from 989 either although there's a phrase involving 989 which is strongly related to the word.

What other greens have you got?

squirrelnutkins1 · 01/04/2022 10:45

I can't get past 991 now argh.

So does mine Doorlion! My work laptop thinks I get it in 1 every day.
RoxieLoxy · 01/04/2022 10:49

@Doubleraspberry excellent clue! I got it from that. Thank goodness as it was doing my head in!

I solved Semantle #62 in 219 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.52. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 43.41 (996/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

InMySpareTime · 01/04/2022 10:49

@squirrelnutkins1 it's a bit more slidey than 989

I've not got that one :(

991
976
929
923

InMySpareTime · 01/04/2022 10:56

@squirrelnutkins1
923 not really helpful, but put the others together, perhaps on a board.

Will have a think. It's driving me mad, I'm normally done before I'm out of bed!

Ooft. Over 100 today!

Only got 2 greens, 688 and 851 but they both got me to the answer. Not quite sure why they were relatively low numbers though!

Hahaha.

BestIsWest · 01/04/2022 11:08

Aaaaaargh.
About 250 guesses at home and nowI’m out and had a sudden thought so tried it on my phone and got it straight away. My phone thinks I got it in one.

Have to say some of the words I had were not really related in my mind.
