[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.

Sorry posted too late!

Ahh ok. Though I’m still not quite sure how I got there.

I solved Semantle #67 in 134 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.05. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #72. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 30.72 (692/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

@BIWI how 990?

Ahh finally

I solved Semantle #67 in 171 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.69. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #61. My penultimate guess had a similarity of -1.72. semantle.novalis.org/

I’m struggling with this one.

Are these greens along the right track or should I go back to trying random words?

Better one today. Got 995 quickly but it's not the most obvious synonym I don't think.

I solved Semantle #67 in 40 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.63. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.57. semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #67 in 85 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.10. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 10.34. semantle.novalis.org/

Better today

@EdwinsActsOfKindness how is it?

Thanks for the hints @InMySpareTime but I still am getting nowhere - and I have the same three as @EdwinsActsOfKindness!

Thanks! Not coming to me just yet, but will chew it over…

My brain is even dredging up French words

Be more hyperbolic

Still stuck on 990! 😖

Stuck without childcare and stuck on 841 and 842. My wild toddler is not helping!

993 ...

@Alwaystired99 841 or 842 but hyperbolic.

@BIWI you're in synonym range now.

Got it while typing randoms. Hate it when that happens!

I solved Semantle #67 in 155 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.27. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #52. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 4.24. semantle.novalis.org/

If anyone could pm me a hint that would be awesome. I am so stuck on 990, have been for over 100 guesses. I feel so stupid!

@Spudlet I can't PM on the app, but the word preceding 990 in a unique case just needs truncating for the target word.

Omg thank you @InMySpareTime! That was agonising

I solved Semantle #67 in 342 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.76. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #140. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 6.42. semantle.novalis.org/

A new personal worst and I would never have got there without hints 🙈

Surprisingly quick for me today. No logic just random words. Only 1 green and then bam.

I solved Semantle #67 in 103 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.01. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #67. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 6.20. semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #67 in 99 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.49. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #42. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 48.81 (996/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Started slow then loads of greens until I found the right one

I'm also stuck on 990 and can't figure out InMySpareTime's clue to Spudlet.

So you would say ‘that was (990)!’ But if you really wanted to hammer the point home, you would say ‘that was (word) 990!!!’

Then you take (word) and knock the end off it. I’m not sure if that helps or not

Think like a sporting commentator who is getting overexcited about a goal…
