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.

@BIWI

I can't seem to get beyond 998. I have 989, 992, 995 and 998 so surely I must be on the right lines?!

This game is too frustrating sometimes

You are on the right lines but try a word that is similar but to a lesser degree. Hope that makes sense!

Those are all quite intense forms of the target word - it’s something that is present in all those but a milder version I guess

You're sooooo close BIWI

Thank you @OneDayIWillBeOrganised!

I was looking for 'stronger' words - without success.

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 did exactly the same! Grin[/quote]
Me too!

I solved Semantle #68 in 46 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 30.22 (744/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 16.76. semantle.novalis.org/

I'm trying too hard, most days having a good vocabulary seems to be a disadvantage, they are normal words!

Ricardothesnowman · 07/04/2022 13:13

I have a few greens, 515, 585, 744 864 and 876. And a few lower ones.
Apart from 585 they all seem to be synonyms.
Am I in the right area?

They're a bit of a red herring - the target words might lead to that group of synonyms you've found, but is not a synonym of them in itself.
BIWI · 07/04/2022 13:26

Not really @Ricardothesnowman Sad

You might be 744 though, if you got [1000]

I solved Semantle #68 in 32 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -2.59. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #21. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 16.04. semantle.novalis.org/

That was disappointing, it’s one extreme to the other here!

semantlename · 07/04/2022 14:07

I can't work it out from the clue about 981, is anyone able to hint in another way?

I’ve been stuck on 921 for hours now…synonyms seem to get me lower answers!

921 is not really helpful. Do you have any other greens?
BIWI · 07/04/2022 14:17

@semantlename see my clue upthread for 744!

BIWI · 07/04/2022 14:18

@ThePontiacBandit 921 is too negative

I also have: 821, 791, 771, 682, 529…all kind of on a similar negative theme! Positive ones I’ve tried haven’t been green.

JaneJeffer · 07/04/2022 14:30

@ThePontiacBandit if you have no 791?

BIWI · 07/04/2022 14:32

If you're not [771] then it's a [1000]

ThePontiacBandit · 07/04/2022 14:37

Aha! Got it! Thanks for the hints..
