As requested! A place to scream, rant, and help each other with this wonderful / bloody awful game (delete as appropriate!).

Semantle can be found here.

I solved Semantle #66 in 74 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.09. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 13.46. semantle.novalis.org/
Bit easier than yesterday’s epic slog. I didn’t have to resort to clues for once.

Signing in for my new daily obsession. I’ve got it for today but odds on I’ll need the help tomorrow 😅

JemimaTiggywinkle · 05/04/2022 11:24

I tried it for the first time today after seeing the thread on here.
I got it in 48 guesses…. Is this good? Bad? Average?

Doubleraspberry · 05/04/2022 11:25

I think 995 is used in a different (slightly not dramatically) way in UK/US but not so much the target word. I hear that used in the same way here.

That's really good. Once you get past 150 tries, you know it's a hard one lol

Is 1000 related to all these words specifically, or is it much more general and I just happen to have gone down a rabbit hole?

hellooooo - I quite liked today's, it was just hard enough

Wallawallakoala · 05/04/2022 12:38

Right still not got it, I posted on the other thread but is it directly related to 985 like a general term regarding this?

Keeprunning123 · 05/04/2022 12:41

Thanks @squirrelnutkins1, that's helped me get to 985!

My first (lowish) green was inspired by my daughter's yoghurt. And, like the fly in my bathroom the other day, please don't let that distract anyone as it's a product of my own mind, and not a word that in itself will solve this for you!

Grin I was glad to see 90 in there because it's what I personally most associate with the answer.
