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.

Ffs 163 guesses and only 3 greens.

Please can I have a clue. I have 95, 286 and 553.

Thanks

@SheilaFentiman

Got yesterday’s in 42. No greens yet today.
I got quite a lot of words scoring in the lower 20s and high teens which were very related imo. If you want to pm me some of yours I could see if you've got any of those if you want?

Think about various things that might be on a 95 and see if that gets you anywhere.

Thanks @ErrolTheDragon that's got me to 962 🙂

@squirrelnutkins1

Over 100 guesses in and I've only got 282 and 286. Are these going to help in any way please?
Could I have a hand please?

Ugh. Took over 125 guesses to get a green.
I'd prefer different greens in a different path but it's one track only by the look of it.

I solved Semantle #70 in 187 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.47. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #141. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 36.72 (878/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #70 in 164 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.42. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #98. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.75. semantle.novalis.org/

No need lol x

Alwaystired99 · 09/04/2022 10:15

I don't think so @squirrelnutkins1 sorry.

Wallawallakoala · 09/04/2022 10:18

I've got 428 and 47 after too many guesses! Today might be the day I give up!

I'm afraid those don't seem very relevant to me.

I solved Semantle #70 in 290 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -5.14. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #79. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 35.02 (827/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Woop! My average is so high after the last few days

SheilaFentiman · 09/04/2022 10:22

I think I sent a PM!

drspouse · 09/04/2022 10:23

Finally got a green on guess 45.

drspouse · 09/04/2022 10:24

Sorry 55! It's only no 140.

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 09/04/2022 10:25

I solved Semantle #70 in 88 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.21. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 19.91. semantle.novalis.org/

Thanks ErrolTheDragon (love your name btw). That got me there!

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 09/04/2022 10:27

@drspouse

Sorry 55! It's only no 140.
Think about the different contexts that you would 140 to get you into higher greens.
LoudParrot · 09/04/2022 10:28

Is this the highest number of guesses by anyone ever?! Nonetheless I am proud of myself for persevering and eventually getting there with no clues!

I solved Semantle #70 in 520 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.69. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #130. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 14.37. semantle.novalis.org/

drspouse · 09/04/2022 10:29

Now I have 589 but nothing near those two seems to be green.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 09/04/2022 10:31

@LoudParrot I had 495 a couple of weeks back up you have me beat! Well done for perserving, on my really bad day I think I had everyone goving me clues and I just didn't see it!

InMySpareTime · 09/04/2022 10:44

@LoudParrot I sailed past 600 guesses a few days ago, you're not the worst!

InMySpareTime · 09/04/2022 10:46

@drspouse with a very modern 589, how would you get a new one?

LoudParrot · 09/04/2022 10:50

@InMySpareTime @Aroundtheworldin80moves thank you for making me feel better!

HadEnoughOfBears · 09/04/2022 10:53

I assume if I've got 962, 993 & 994 I should be able to get it 🙈🙈
