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

Curious to know others direction now!

@Rummikub if you own a 998, you will have a certain 1000, that would would hold. 924 is this person's 1000.

If that makes any sense at all!?

I enjoy that one. Seemed to flow better.
I solved Semantle #74 in 42 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.23. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 58.04 (994/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Mine was more of a meander than a definite direction

I solved Semantle #74 in 105 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.40. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 18.72. semantle.novalis.org/

Had lots of top 10 words and still took me ages!

Just highlighting 760 as the wtf does that mean word of the day.

@Redcrayons I'm feeling smug because I do know that word well, related to my hobby. But I have precious few opportunities to feel smug in a semantle thread!

Maybe you can tell us if there's any connection whatever, however tenuous, to the solution!

Curious to know others direction now!

Mine, and I think others, came at it from a general theme which has cropped up a few times before.

I’m enjoying the clues a lot more!

Not great today, but not abysmal I guess.
I solved Semantle #74 in 105 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.43. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.86 (943/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Stuck at 987
Also have 980, 972, 970, 959, 952... am I even on track?

Apart from 952, you’re on the right track. What do you get if you do the others? The newspaper clue from this morning fits.

I solved Semantle #74 in 113 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.05. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 60.48 (996/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

@gogohm you're definitely on the right track!

If you 987, what do you earn?

I solved Semantle #74 in 106 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.72. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #54. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 4.32. semantle.novalis.org/

So the newspaper clue....

are we talking broadsheet or red-top?

@SlightlyJaded

either - tbh - just reporting

@JaneJeffer

You hadn't typed 960 by any chance *@ScrambledSmegs*?

Just looked that up I'm so tempted to use that in everyday conversations now!

@semantlename what can I say, it's the school holidays and I'm rapidly exhausting my reserves of patience. Not that I had much in the first place!

I have no excuse. Just a hot head with a foul mouth! 😅

I solved Semantle #74 in 196 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.49. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.94. semantle.novalis.org/

I only got this from clues, I was at 999 for ages!

Okay I've went back to it and stuck on 993. Can someone please give or PM a clue thanks.

Ugh! I went round and round. So many greens. DH helped me in the end.

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes 993 holds the ?

I’ve never had so many greens - all the 990s except 998 plus loads more. Cannot wrap my head around the clues, although I know I’ll kick myself when I get it!

Any clues gratefully received!
