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

Do you want a PM @JaneJeffer?!

squirrelnutkins1 · 08/04/2022 12:34

Just looking at your words to see if I can help! @JaneJeffer

BabbleBee · 08/04/2022 12:36

@JaneJeffer I thought you’d given me a clue!!!

JaneJeffer · 08/04/2022 12:37

Hallelujah!

I solved Semantle #69 in 172 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.96. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #53. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.19. semantle.novalis.org/

Grin

Got there in the end!

HikingforScenery · 08/04/2022 14:05

It took me ages before I got one green. I then went on another tangent. Anyway, done.

Argh, so many greens before I got there!

I solved Semantle #69 in 71 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 22.81 (181/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 7.61. semantle.novalis.org/

That was harder than I thought it was going to be. I had loads of greens in the first 10 but exhausted the similar words without getting anything higher.

drspouse · 08/04/2022 15:23

I've got 623 and 926 which are very similar to me so I'm trying to think what could be closer to 926.

Took me a while of vague lower greens but got there in the end

BIWI · 08/04/2022 15:37

623 won't help @drspouse. And I don't think 926 is especially helpful either, I'm afraid. Do you have any other greens?

drspouse · 08/04/2022 15:46

Yes, I now have 810

drspouse · 08/04/2022 15:47

I am trying all kinds of 810 but all are not green.

Got it! I think I'd have got it from 623 after about a million guesses as 623s have (word)s.

I think I must have got just about every word possible along that theme before I got to it!

SheilaFentiman · 08/04/2022 16:35

BIWI, your clue gives away a fair bit about the answer in terms of part of speech etc
