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 felt like i was off to a strong start but have been stalled for ages.

Am I on the right track please? X

@LiveintheNow what might precede a moment of 981?

InMySpareTime · 07/04/2022 07:45

@squirrelnutkins1 not really, you're too long term with those.

I solved Semantle #68 in 38 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.05. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #28. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 67.45 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

A good one for me today

Redcrayons · 07/04/2022 07:46

@squirrelnutkins1 they’re not really very helpful. It’s kind of opposite to that general thing.

(Not exactly opposite, but not in that vein)

Sorry terrible hint

MrsLargeEmbodied · 07/04/2022 07:50

@squirrelnutkins1

your 578 is a good one

squirrelnutkins1 · 07/04/2022 08:02

Thanks ladies, will keep ticking over with it xxx

DoorLion · 07/04/2022 08:05

Got a very low green (41) on my ninth guess then nothing until suddenly got 995 out of nowhere on guess 54. It seemed out of nowhere anyway but I can see now that it relates to 41.

I solved Semantle #68 in 58 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.33. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 51.79 (992/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

ErrolTheDragon · 07/04/2022 08:09

Got it with the help of a clue on here

I solved Semantle #68 in 160 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.50. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #28. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 31.37 (791/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 07/04/2022 08:12

I got it by looking up one of my high greens in the dictionary to see what nuances there were to the meaning, and picked a word that was used to describe it. I wasn’t on that track so I wouldn’t have got it otherwise.

I solved Semantle #68 in 81 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.24. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.19. semantle.novalis.org/

comfortablyfrumpy · 07/04/2022 08:14

Mmm not many greens and I can't get above the 700s. Seemingly close synonyms just falling by the wayside!

drspouse · 07/04/2022 08:23

I am stuck at 793 today (which I got on guess 10!)

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 07/04/2022 08:24

IWishMyUsernameWasX · 07/04/2022 08:29

I got a high ??? that turned out to be a typo of the answer 🙄 It took me about 20 more guesses to figure it out 😂

I solved Semantle #68 in 149 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.67. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #54. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 52.10 (993/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Quickest one yet, just luck really. I struggled yesterday and only got it from clues here.

squirrelnutkins1 · 07/04/2022 08:42

RenegadeKeeblerElf · 07/04/2022 08:42

I don't really want proper hints this early in the day, but can anyone tell me if 977 is helpful, and if I should be thinking of it as a noun, verb, or adjective?

squirrelnutkins1 · 07/04/2022 08:43

@drspouse

I am stuck at 793 today (which I got on guess 10!)
I think this is a pretty good word Smile
InMySpareTime · 07/04/2022 08:50

@RenegadeKeeblerElf might cause 977 but not really a synonym.

SheilaFentiman · 07/04/2022 08:50

@RenegadeKeeblerElf 977 is not greatly helpful.

RenegadeKeeblerElf · 07/04/2022 08:53

Thanks both. I'll go a bit further down my green list and see how I get on.

moofolk · 07/04/2022 08:53

I'm just linking to the appeal that the Semantle creator has at the bottom of the page under 'can I give you money?'

Thank you, still took me a bit to get there...

AliasGrape · 07/04/2022 09:04

No clues needed today, though one of my regular starting words was in the 700s which sent me completely the wrong way for 30 or so guesses.

I solved Semantle #68 in 40 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.92. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 57.11 (995/1000). semantle.novalis.org/
