Semantle 8

[ElegantlyTouched]

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 solved Semantle #70 in 213 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.50. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #71. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 81.82 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Was sitting in the car with the DCs and DS1 (14 and very dyslexic!) got it!

[quote InMySpareTime]@Idroppedthescrewinthetuna what about 800 😱?[/quote]
I didn't even see that! Woah!

@Wallawallakoala

536 I'm getting nowhere 🙈

That was my highest word before I got it, I think it should be higher tbh.

Gah, guess number 1 was a green so I thought it would be a breeze today! Got there in the end.

I solved Semantle #70 in 148 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 29.35 (435/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.07. semantle.novalis.org/

@RoxieLoxy if an 827 was on its own what would you call it?

@RoxieLoxy I know, but more of an Americanism!

@Wallawallakoala

Ooo thank you now on 960

I think 536 is more useful tbh.

@Wallawallakoala I'm now wondering how you still have 536s if you treat them like 960s.

259 guesses, 3 greens.
I hate this bloody game

@Wallawallakoala what would 960 be on in a tall building?

@InMySpareTime 😂😂

Help! I've got 286, 292 and 647 and can't for the life of me get any higher. Can anyone give me a clue? 🙏🙏

Good grief

I solved Semantle #70 in 110 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.69. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #42. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.95. semantle.novalis.org/

Thank you all!! @InMySpareTime what would I do without you! No idea what your tall building clue meant though? I'm an idiot!

@CitrusSunshine the thing you use on 286 will get you higher.

No no no I get it actually and it's really good!!

Done! 904 sent me on quite the detour!

I solved Semantle #70 in 47 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.71. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.44. semantle.novalis.org/

Sorry @CitrusSunshine I’d pretty much forget those and start looking around as others have said.

I've now randomly got 943 but can only think a couple of words associated with this quite specific word and it's not them!

@RoxieLoxy mainly swear words going in by that point

I’ve got 912..tried similar with no joy…could it help or is it a dead end?

@CitrusSunshine if a 943 appears, how do you make it go away?

What's 949 got anything to do with it!!?? These crack me up.

Thanks, I'll try this approach!

Goodness, that's a bit of an outlier relative to most greens. But (if I've remembered what a 912 is), it might have 1000s on it.
