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!

@SouperNoodle would you like me to PM you something a bit more targeted?

Oh THAT pretentious!

@Earlandmrsgrey

Ok. I need a clue as I have to get on with the laundry!!!! I have 647, 936, 938, 956, 964, 981 and 995. I also have a very unhelpful teenager who just laughs and says he would only use the word 647.

Your top 3 greens involve people doing what?

Finally! Thank you.
I could have sworn that I had already used that word about 50 guesses earlier so kept trying to find words like it!! My bad.

That was quick today! Took me ages to get remotely on the right track but once I was there it was fine. Makes a nice change from yesterday when I had to give up after many many guesses and desperate to go to bed!

If I had put the telly on before I did it I would have got it in half the time

Ages with nothing, then got it on my 5th green.

My Giddy Aunt!

Whoop whoop 🙌

Got it in 50.

Went from nothing to a my first green (647) then the answer based on it being 'topical'. Funny that 647 doesn't feel 'close' but in the current context the two are so blurred... (hope that's not too cluey!)

DH is doing it himself and I’m finding it fascinating as all his greens would have got me nowhere near the target for ages, whereas the first green I got took me there within four guesses. It really is chance, isn’t it? He’s now gone on off a massive tangent.

Someone said something about making your own Semantle... is that a thing? Is there a link?
