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

I solved Semantle #66 in 52 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.14. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #49. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 56.08 (995/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Definitely @LadyMacduff I can't see any of those getting you there!

ChuckBerrysBoots · 05/04/2022 19:41

I’m just entering the same cold words over and over. Aaargh. I haven’t found any of the clues for 960 helpful yet - anyone got an alternative clue?!

JaneJeffer · 05/04/2022 19:44

Got any other greens @ChuckBerrysBoots ?

ChuckBerrysBoots · 05/04/2022 19:45

I’ve a similar list to you @LadyMacduff !

InMySpareTime · 05/04/2022 19:46

@LadyMacduff if you were on the right track at 922 what would you be doing?

ChuckBerrysBoots · 05/04/2022 19:47

Here we are!

You've got a load more greens than me, Chuck!

ChuckBerrysBoots · 05/04/2022 19:56

@LadyMacduff

You've got a load more greens than me, Chuck!
But none of them are any use 😂
JaneJeffer · 05/04/2022 20:10

Oh sorry @LadyMacduff I was looking at yesterday's list Blush
In the US they often get help to go to 922 by merit of being ?

JaneJeffer · 05/04/2022 20:11

@ChuckBerrysBoots you can try that too!

InMySpareTime · 05/04/2022 20:11

@LadyMacduff the word (or at least a very high 99x) is a kind of 699. A dusty one.

ChuckBerrysBoots · 05/04/2022 20:27

[quote JaneJeffer]@ChuckBerrysBoots you can try that too![/quote]
Flipping heck. Would never have got there from my list. Thank you!

LadyMacduff · 05/04/2022 20:33

Crikey me!

Thanks @JaneJeffer

Can see how that would be tough.

When Americans say 960 what do they mean? And how do working class kids get there?

ErrolTheDragon · 05/04/2022 20:47

Have you tried thinking of all the different things you did at 960 (many of us perhaps quite reluctantly).

ZiaMcnab · 05/04/2022 21:15

Thanks for the new thread @ElegantlyTouched!

I’ve had no time at all today, so was super pleased to find 528 at guess 5, and got to 997 pretty soon after that but I am now soooo stuck, and tired, and frustrated I’m sure I won’t be able to get it without a big old hint. Can some kind person please help me? Previous comments about American/ British English are drawing a complete blank for me 🥴

Step away from specific kinds, think about how all the doers look.

ZiaMcnab · 05/04/2022 21:52

Thanks, @InMySpareTime, but I’m still really struggling, only finding lower greens Confused

Wallawallakoala · 05/04/2022 21:56

@ZiaMcnab I wouldn't say it's a very American word. What do you have to be to do 996?

Wallawallakoala · 05/04/2022 21:57

Or many of your 900s

JaneJeffer · 05/04/2022 21:57

@ZiaMcnab what shape are they?
