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

@ElegantlyTouched

Am I anywhere near? It took ages to get a green, now I have a million of them but can't seem to make the final leap.
@ElegantlyTouched 995 is your closest. It is very close, actually.

When I reported it I meant to write spoiler but put spoler and pressed send just as I spotted it. Doh.

A function to copy the greens without the words would be handy.

I usually edit the photo before uploading it here, which is what others here do too, I suspect. Wad just so excited that I'd had a decent time to play today but hadn't quite solved it I'd forgotten that step. Thanks for spotting it so quickly!

Yes I usually crop it but I'm lazy so I'd like an easier option Grin

moofolk · 05/04/2022 14:10

Gah I've only got four greens and they are all very similar.

I think I'm getting stuck as other synonyms are cold.

Thank you for the new thread! @ElegantlyTouched

It didn’t take too long for me today so I’m chuffed!

I solved Semantle #66 in 46 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.31. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 56.08 (995/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I find it easier to zoom out the page and move it so that just the bit I want is showing before taking a screenshot rather than cropping afterwards. That's on an iPad. If I was doing a screenshot on a pc I'd use Snagit to select just the area I wanted to capture.

Think of the sorts of things those words could be applied to.

Sometimes the oddly specific guesses really work out Grin. Was getting constant cold guesses until I decided to hell with it
