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!

Thank you! I had to ask my husband- I studied German which wasn’t helpful I have it now in 132 guesses.

Thank you! I had to ask my husband- I studied German which wasn’t helpful I have it now in 132 guesses.

I hope it wasn't too obvious?

I solved Semantle #73 in 34 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.75. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #22. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 15.35. semantle.novalis.org/

Yay, good one for me today! Only 2 greens and fluked it after that, but I'm delighted!

I solved Semantle #73 in 41 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #34. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 53.18 (967/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Very quick once I got my first green and an unusual day for me where no thesaurus or Mumsnet cheating needed 😀

@AppleKatie

I like wordle but I think my average time is sub 3 minutes to complete. Semantle is more of a relaxed longer lasting challenge!

Yes I spent awhile on it as there wasn’t a vs limit on guesses which helps

I solved Semantle #73 in 88 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.26. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #28. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 38.62 (368/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

My green guesses today were so odd, I feel a bit disappointed now.

I solved Semantle #73 in 42 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 20.28. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #20. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 14.44. semantle.novalis.org/

This will never happen again!

I solved Semantle #73 in 48 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.75. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #21. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.30 (460/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

DH got it in two. Disgusted. Never going to hear the end of it.

I solved Semantle #73 in 84 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.88. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 44.42 (804/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I spent ages going around in circles with lots of related greens

Aargh!

I've got 999 and a tonne of greens... But keep guessing wrong! Is it a different version of the word ?

Sheila we have the same!!

Oh! Ok!?

I definitely think there's a few ways to get to this one

I solved Semantle #74 in 94 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.53. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #36. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 74.55 (998/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #74 in 65 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.99. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #19. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 20.79. semantle.novalis.org/

It's a strange feeling to be stumped when you have 999!

147 guesses!
Those greens weren’t words I'd most closely associate with today’s word.

Oh good, not just me!

Aargh! Got it in 115. But one of my high greens definitely seems closer than 999, say.

I’m the same- got stuck at 999 and have most leading up to it (but not 997 or 998) at 44 guesses… Need to think a bit more…!

Spoke too soon.. Just got 998

I solved Semantle #74 in 50 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.59. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 7.44. semantle.novalis.org/

I'm hard stuck at 994 bloody hell

I'm about to give up, nearly 200 guesses in arghh.

Nevermind got it, god that was tortuous
