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

Loads of synonyms & opposites but I'm not getting anything outside of that.

Not sure what track to go with, I'm at 150 guesses! Confused

@ChuckBerrysBoots

Alternatively, there are frequently posts on AIBU about whether someone IBU to feel 994 at the quality/lack of of a 1000!
My mind is going all over the place with this one! 😂

978/977 taking you in the wrong direction

Got it!

Having seen it I can't believe it look me so long. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I solved Semantle #68 in 327 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 19.42. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 3.21. semantle.novalis.org/

With 76 greens and nowhere near figuring out the word, I finally got it with a lot of help from @BIWI

It's so frustrating when you can't get it. I also was annoyed because I thought I'd already tried the actual word.

BIWI · 07/04/2022 16:56

... and if anyone has 987, a) I'm amazed and b) that won't get you anywhere near the actual answer!

Lol just checked the list. Is that even a word?!?!

Getting that would be a ??

I didn't get that word but I do use that word with 'no' in front of it. Without the word 'no' it works with the target.

This felt like hard work today!

I solved Semantle #68 in 97 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.05. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 59.48 (996/1000).

madnessitellyou · 07/04/2022 18:14

Anyone know what ???? means? I had that yesterday. Similarity was something like 31.

RenegadeKeeblerElf · 07/04/2022 18:26

Glad to see I'm not the only one struggling. All my greens seem to be along the same theme but I gather it isn't a helpful one...

I am STILL stuck with only one green at 793.

ClarasZoo · 07/04/2022 18:48

Is 981 gonna help? Stuck again!

@madnessitellyou if you read the thread someone has already posted an explanation of that

No - you're going down a completely different/wrong track. It's not a negative word.

@drspouse

793 isn't a bad word to springboard from. What kind of occasions might there be a 793? What would that 793 look like?
FlippyFloppyFlappy · 07/04/2022 19:05

I got ??? for beansprouts on the day the answer was Pot 🤔

BIWI · 07/04/2022 19:05

What other greens do you have @ClarasZoo?

ClarasZoo · 07/04/2022 19:06

864 and 796

BIWI · 07/04/2022 19:07

They're kind of how you might feel after a [1000] - albeit a bit strong, emotionally
