Semantle 9

[ElegantlyTouched]

And so the madness continues! Here's our 9th thread to discuss, boast and rant about the game that is more pointless than Pointless, needs Masterminds to solve and will make Eggheads of us all, what with the amount of hair-pulling it induces!

If you have no clue what I'm on about, our last thread is here, and the game itself can be found here.

To any newbies, welcome to the dark side, and to those who have played before, thanks for keeping me company I'm this!

Oooh! Exactly midnight when I opened this! But no way am I starting the madness now. Will be back in the morning for more frustration/irritation/exasperation!

Egghead 🥚 place marking 👍🏼

Annoying the new one doesn't appear till 1am since we went to daylight savings.

I’m just recovering from today’s one.
Can’t think how long it took to even get a green and so many guesses to get the answer. By the end every adult in the house was part of a collaborative effort to find the answer.

Thanks for the new thread @ElegantlyTouchedb
How on earth are we on thread 9 already??

Oops was posting on old thread… I enjoyed today’s much more than yesterday’s!

I solved Semantle #71 in 39 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.13. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 60.00 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Oh I’ve got good news about today’s - it’s not a complete bastard.

I solved Semantle #71 in 32 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.90. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 27.98 (597/1000).

Can I also be the first to say f%€# buttons?

I also posted on old thread, but yesterday's was nice. Although I came to the answer in a very different way than the higher words lead you.

I solved Semantle #71 in 49 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.45. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #41. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 65.37 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I meant today's was nice - not yesterday's!

I solved Semantle #71 in 89 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.99. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 0.15. semantle.novalis.org/

Much better than yesterday although kept hitting greens and knew the general theme but took awhile to get to the target.

Whaaaat

Under 100 is good for me, I missed all the "night" routes and got there via my stomach (not actually a spoiler as it would have been faster if I hadn't)

I solved Semantle #71 in 37 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.93. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.89. semantle.novalis.org/

I was pondering yesterday whether our backgrounds make some easier than others (academic/occupation). I had a nice mathematical route up to Knob yesterday, from which button was reasonably logical. But some of the more linguistic ones I've struggled with.

Quick one today. Such a relief after yesterday!

annoyingly had to resort to googling as was stuck on 994 for a while -
just a couple of words though

Can’t believe it’s already thread 9!

Bit quicker today!

One of my easiest and quickest yet!

Might be my best one - definitely the quickest 😁

Luck getting a green word!

I solved Semantle #71 in 37 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.94. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #28. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 36.02 (907/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Much better today after the shambles that was yesterdays 😅

@squirrelnutkins1 yesterday's marathon guessathon has driven us all to despair, today's gives us hope!
