[ElegantlyTouched]

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

That was my first Semantle and how infuriating!!!

I had 904, 955 and 962 for ages and can't see how they have anything to do with the answer?!?

I'll join most others on here in saying - oh FFS

I solved Semantle #70 in 139 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #64. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.23. semantle.novalis.org/

It's so infuriating when it takes so many bloody guesses for it to be something like "bat"

It's not that or anything like that but just generally when its a very straightforward word it can take forever I get so irrationality annoyed!

I agree! Especially when you already think you've posted the 'obvious' word

Can I have some help please?

991 might be used to open something. [secret word] could also be used to open or start something.

Thanks very much, @MrsElm ! I was really hoping I would make it in under a 100 today so that’s a win haha
