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

I solved Semantle #71 in 68 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.41. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 16.76. semantle.novalis.org/

Anyone ever heard of 937???

I had heard of a 937, but wouldn't have been able to give an exact definition. I knew where it was from though.

This was so much better than yesterday! Got my first green with a 'type what you see' approach and it went on from there.

comfortablyfrumpy · 10/04/2022 09:12

Got yo 992 quite quickly and now all my guesses are high greens but can't quite get there....
But a lot less frustrating than yesterday. I still don't see how pane was supposedly very similar to button (I'm not bitter) Grin

comfortablyfrumpy · 10/04/2022 09:17

Took far longer than it should have but I went up a wrong track in my thinking....

drspouse · 10/04/2022 09:40

I am nearly there today but any words that seem to fit with the greens are now going back out of the greens which is very confusing.
