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.

@BIWI the 358 is very tempting.

I know I’m really childish but my top three greens are making me snigger 😬

@MissMatty2hats with words like that I don't know how you missed 800.

Good job you didn't get 991 then

Oh FFS! Thank you @Choux and @InMySpareTime. I thought of that word a while ago but didn't play it for some stupid reason.

I solved Semantle #70 in 117 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.03. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #25. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 2.17. semantle.novalis.org/

Given that 358 was my very first green I should have got there a lot quicker.

I did not get anywhere with 358! It didn’t help that the generic form of 358 was a high cold so I tried other specific ones!

Are 470 or 641 remotely useful?!

@ChuckBerrysBoots not especially. Look around you.

I don't think so!

This REALLY annoys me as I do a hobby which involves the old fashioned kind of (word) and none of the related words for that hobby are in the top 1000.

I solved Semantle #70 in 149 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 19.09. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #55. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 27.82 (205/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Got it! Thank you. My god that was a trying one today...

Annoying!

@ChuckBerrysBoots you have given yourself a clue

So far I have one green (205) and nothing relating to it seems to be close.
So I put in "Starwars" as my ds was wittering about it in my ear.
It came up with ???? and a likeness of 29.42 which is now my highest one. Humph.

@MargaretThursday the things on the 205

Or one of them at least!

I've only just realised I had 205 but was only thinking about it as an adjective.

@JaneJeffer

Thank you! I was so confused. Hadn't thought of it as being an item, more a description. Not sure how it relates to Starwars still.

I solved Semantle #70 in 67 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.78. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 81.82 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I spent ages thinking of other words for a 205 and even tried one which got me ???? which could also be used for a Star Wars thing!

I solved Semantle #70 in 208 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.59. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 81.82 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Getting 358 early completely threw me!

I solved Semantle #70 in 179 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.96. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 81.82 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Did it in 45 today, only got 2 very low greens (14 & 18) and they led me directly to it. Almost feel cheated!

I'm on 185 and this is all I have. Are any of these helpful?!

@fancyfrogs some types of 286 might have these and you use your 18
