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'd never heard of this game until I clicked on the thread out of curiosity.
Yesterday I played but it took me a while to understand how it works.
Second go today, got the word in 41 guesses.
Beginners luck?!

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 08/04/2022 09:47

Haha see how you do tomorrow Yellow 😂

I had no greens at all but got the answer from this clue!

I've reported my post for deletion. I thought it could mean a lot of things, sorry.

@InMySpareTime I was on the point of cursing you as I thought I’d found literally everything that 998 Could be/have…

I solved Semantle #69 in 81 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.07. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 20.20. semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #69 in 74 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.48. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 27.02 (677/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I would’ve got that sooner, on guess 39, but I now realise I made a typo in the word and it was accepted so I thought I’d already used it.

SouperNoodle · 08/04/2022 10:01

@ErrolTheDragon I'm still stuck 🙈 I just can't think. I'm in the hundreds and still have no other greens

Heronatemygoldfish · 08/04/2022 10:03

That one took a while to get on the right track.

I solved Semantle #69 in 111 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.43. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #36. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 40.99 (981/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

SouperNoodle · 08/04/2022 10:08

Finally have some better greens thanks to DH. Still no wiser though. I think my brain is mush today.

What greens do you have @SouperNoodle?

rachelagain · 08/04/2022 10:11

I had it sitting right there in a very slightly different form for ages. Got there in the end at guess 111

poppym12 · 08/04/2022 10:11

62 guesses and not even a green yet Angry. It's going to be one of those days.....

InMySpareTime · 08/04/2022 10:12

@SouperNoodle opposite of 963

LoudParrot · 08/04/2022 10:16

I solved Semantle #69 in 146 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.36. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.05. semantle.novalis.org/

That was a bit of luck! I only had two lowish greens before suddenly getting it!

oldsoulrebel · 08/04/2022 10:22

I solved Semantle #69 in 102 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.47. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #36. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 16.75. semantle.novalis.org/

semantlename · 08/04/2022 10:23

Thought I was going to get it with no greens thanks to an earlier hint.

Can anyone please tell me which number to buckle down on. Or maybe a gentle suggestion in some way?

InMySpareTime · 08/04/2022 10:36

@semantlename what does 981 make? That'll get you a higher green that will probably get you there.

BestIsWest · 08/04/2022 10:42

Yay!
I solved Semantle #69 in 156 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.30. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #106. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 13.40. semantle.novalis.org/

My first greens were 318 and 310 which led me completely down the wrong path until it occurred to me that 310 could be used in a different way.

weebarra · 08/04/2022 10:45

I solved Semantle #69 in 169 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.22. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #57. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 34.20 (925/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Got it! My average is now 103.

Thanks, got me to 995. I'll have a think 😊

MzHz · 08/04/2022 10:57

@semantlename the target isn’t a plural.

semantlename · 08/04/2022 11:25

Thanks @MzHz I'm on 998. I need a little think. Work keeps getting in the way! Grin

moofolk · 08/04/2022 11:25

Gah I've got tons and tons of green; got to the high scores earlier than any day this week but stagnating at 998.

You can use synonyms for this. Not necessarily one you would think of (or I wouldn't). I can pm you if you like but my next clue might contain a slight hint I wouldn't want to do here.
