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!

@ErrolTheDragon I've exhausted all my options and still no closer 🙈 could someone pm me another clue please?

I solved Semantle #76 in 79 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.38. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #19. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.84 (37/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

@SouperNoodle it’s a bit like 737 in a specific context - will PM

Got it by looking up the definition of my top two:

I solved Semantle #76 in 43 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.24. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 12.92. semantle.novalis.org/

I have to say, without these threads there’s no way I’d have got a good few of these over the last few weeks 😊

My first guess was a green so I thought I'd get it early but it actually took me down a different route for a while.

I solved Semantle #76 in 65 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 31.49 (882/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.80 (375/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #76 in 67 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.89. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 10.57. semantle.novalis.org/

Any gentle hints greatly appreciated

It's a synonym of 994.

@FlippyFloppyFlappy

It's a synonym of 994.

I may have to resort to googling synonyms soon, I've exhausted my vocabulary! I thought that after getting a green with my second guess I'd get it in less than my average of 150ish but apparently not 😭

I had to resort to them today 😬

I solved Semantle #76 in 159 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.56. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 12.23. semantle.novalis.org/

I'm kicking myself now. We use that word at work so often I can't believe I didn't get it sooner, especially since I had 991 as well as 994 which are both synonyms of the actual word but not of each other, you'd think I'd realise how they were connected 😭

I'm stuck today. Got 931 on guess number 6 early this morning but 70 guesses later I've not got any warmer.

@Alwaystired99 it's more about how you get people to 931

I solved Semantle #76 in 46 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.67. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 38.31 (974/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Which other greens have you got?

I have sooo many greens!

When you 791 someone, how did you get them there?

I've read the clues given to @Spudlet who was stuck on the same number as me, and I'm still going backwards. More help please!

@SheilaFentiman PMd you

@SlightlyJaded you'd 913 a new one.

Thank you both. My brain hurts, I’m going to make coffee and have another crack!

Woot! Got there!

I solved Semantle #76 in 128 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.59. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 35.93 (960/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I've got 931, 791, 536, 429, 287 and 133. Can't see this one thing today but my weeks of endless ailments includes conjunctivitis so I feel like I really can't see properly!

Ah the power of coffee @SheilaFentiman
