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

I solved Semantle #69 in 67 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.01. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #32. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.99 (208/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Yeyyy!!

Well done! What helped you tip from 998?

Is it anything to do with 962 because 50 guesses later I'm getting pissed off with them?!

@semantlename yes please!

@moofolk I've sent three in increasing levels of easiness!

Phew! The first sub 100 in a few days.

I solved Semantle #69 in 63 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.59. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.64. semantle.novalis.org/

Thanks @semantlename

I think 962 could easily send you down an unproductive rabbit hole.

What else have you got?

The secret word can often precede 962

Only 53 @moofolk 😂

I solved Semantle #69 in 48 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.98. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #35. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 53.48 (998/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Definitely easier today

69 not 53! Ooh err. It was guess 53.

To those stuck on high 900's - think more generically

I’m tired, grumpy and going around in circles with this one.

It's a total pain in the arse today.

I can see why you're struggling. I can't get you directly to the answer, but you might get more in the right direction if you think of different types of 874, and then how a large number of certain types might be described. That might be too cryptic and sorry if so, but the words you have aren't particularly helpful.

@JaneJeffer 😂

I sometimes think that my type of work holds me back as I don’t have the same usual vocab as others.

I solved Semantle #69 in 98 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.92. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #20. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 0.67. semantle.novalis.org/

It isn't a particularly specialised word though.

@JaneJeffer think more financially

@BabbleBee I used to think my vocabulary wasn't too bad Actually I'm reading Motherwell at the moment and having to google so many words. Deborah Orr, RIP, would have been brilliant at Semantle I reckon.

60 guesses in and I haven't got any greens ☹️☹️☹️ my best cold is 21.65.

Financial! You've seen me and numbers @BIWI

And just like that my next 4 guesses are high greens! The power of posting lol!!

@squirrelnutkins1 I reckon you can get some greens from there because I have a couple of similar scoring words which got me to green for all the good it's done me!

See what I mean

I solved Semantle #69 in 73 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.81. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #61. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 31.30 (862/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/

So chuffed with that!!!!

Grr @squirrelnutkins1
