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!

I solved Semantle #73 in 34 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.57. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #33. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 64.10 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I prefer the tricky ones that take ages, now I've got to wait til tomorrow :)

I spent ages diverted by 833 and co but got there in the end!

I solved Semantle #73 in 83 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.36. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #22. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 53.18 (967/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #73 in 29 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.45. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 64.10 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

That was unexpected, but weirdly logical!

BowerOfBramble · 12/04/2022 08:38

Great I’m the only thickie finding it hard today - stuck with these

How big a hint do you want, Bower?

MKCH · 12/04/2022 08:42

So many greens before I got to the answer 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

992 - qu'est que c'est en Français?

BowerOfBramble · 12/04/2022 08:44

THANK YOU ERROL!!! Wine

BowerOfBramble · 12/04/2022 08:48

Annoyed with myself now because I got 460 at 18 guesses in but only thought one way from there. Think it should have been higher!

Having said that the list is a very satisfying read, would quite like it pinned up on the wall Smile

I solved Semantle #73 in 65 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 21.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.72.

poppym12 · 12/04/2022 08:52

Quite a logical one today for me.
I solved Semantle #73 in 27 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.62. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #20. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 24.43. semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #73 in 62 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.17. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #59. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 40.83 (609/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

That’s high for me! Now stuck on a bus with nothing to do 😭

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 12/04/2022 08:59

I can't seem to get past 793! Have put in a few associated with it, I think!

SouperNoodle · 12/04/2022 09:00

I'm starting to hate this game 😂

Heronatemygoldfish · 12/04/2022 09:01

augh - my first green was 992 and it still took another 25 guesses!

HoundOfTheBasketballs · 12/04/2022 09:01

Was on a slightly incorrect track for most of my guesses.

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes what do 793 turn into? Especially the higher up ones.

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 12/04/2022 09:04

After 5 weeks of playing I've only just realised that the numbers get redder the closer they are to the target word Blush
Observant to the last 🙄

InMySpareTime · 12/04/2022 09:05

@SouperNoodle a version of those that would be better in the long run.

Thank you @InMySpareTime, now on 997!

InMySpareTime · 12/04/2022 09:06

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes be more specific.

ErrolTheDragon · 12/04/2022 09:06

@SouperNoodle

I'm starting to hate this game 😂
Think of some things those might accompany and see if that gets you anywhere. (Personally I wouldn't have them with the target but might with some relations).
AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 12/04/2022 09:07

Ha ha! That was definitely easier than previous ones!

I solved Semantle #73 in 43 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.31. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 64.10 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 12/04/2022 09:08

Thanks again @InMySpareTime!

FooFighter99 · 12/04/2022 09:14

I solved Semantle #73 in 80 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.57. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #55. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 57.52 (988/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

That was relatively easy once I got on the greens
