Semantle 10

[ElegantlyTouched]

Here we go again! Is this game getting easier, or will we all be wallowing in the hundreds in a day or two? Only time will tell!

Anybody new to the madness do join in. We need all the help we can get!

Previous thread here.

Link to the game we love to hate here!

Strewth - this should be thread number 10! How time flies, and threads fill up!

@mnhq - any chance you can emend the title, please???

I’m over one hundred with only one green (521) - utterly clueless

Thanks for the new thread

Thank you for the new thread.

I loved today's- really interesting route. I was stuck at 998 for a while.

I solved Semantle #78 in 64 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -2.30. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 46.11 (935/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Okaaaaaay I got it - I thought it was strange that it was so many guesses only two greens then the word, but looking at the list… let’s say I’m not surprised. This might be a bit marmite with a few MNers all over it and the rest of us suffering.

I solved Semantle #78 in 135 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.25. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #93. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 40.02 (680/1000).

I have made 131 guesses, only have three greens, and my highest green is 739 (also have 685 and 143)! I have a lot of words that score around 30-33.75% but they are not considered close.. Think I need to change direction.. Or maybe just go to bed!

I solved Semantle #78 in 166 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 23.54. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #49. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 43.76 (880/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Phew.
Went totally down the wrong track for a while, which gave me lots of greens, but didn't lead me to the answer.

I’ve swung between flukes and taking 100s of guesses lately, but feeling pleased with today. Helped that one of my high words was one I happened to learn recently!

I solved Semantle #78 in 76 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.87. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.74 (658/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #78 in 97 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.77. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #46. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 38.42 (537/1000). semantle.novalis.org/
Woopwoop my average is slowly coming down after a couple of 400+ slogs.

I solved Semantle #78 in 136 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #57. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 43.76 (880/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Finally got it! Kicked myself as I thought about trying the answer ages ago and dismissed it

I solved Semantle #78 in 377 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.88. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #37. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 48.46 (970/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I got 886 quite early on, which didn't really help things as all the words like it were cold.
So many words in the mid-30s similarity but still cold. It's going to be a day of giving lots of clues to lots of people, isn't it?

I solved Semantle #78 in 24 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.14. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #23. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 46.21 (939/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I'm surprised how quickly that one went.

I solved Semantle #78 in 45 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 23.54. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #33. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 43.33 (866/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Dicked around for ages in the sub 1000s and had a sudden hit at 915 from whence I think I just got lucky.

I solved Semantle #78 in 176 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.90. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #150. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.72. semantle.novalis.org/

Only got 1 green, 620 so far after loads if guesses. And can't move on from there.

Feels a slog today. My best is 875 and going nowhere!

@squirrelnutkins1 875 is not the physical sense.

Finally one that went well, been taking 100s of guesses recently

I solved Semantle #78 in 42 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.55. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #27. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 36.57 (311/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Yeah I was thinking that from my other words but just can't seem to get further.
I took a break and did wordle and waffle but still no inspo 😂

@squirrelnutkins1 think about what area 875 things happen in.

Think today is going to be a give up!

Happy Easter 🐣 checking in, I will play later this morning I expect.

Please can someone tell me if I am on the right track, and possibly give me a hint on how to get further? I am really stuck!

Happy Easter and thanks for the new thread!

52 guesses in and not a sniff of a green so far - my lucky streak of the past few days has clearly run out!

75 guesses and one green (804) which isn’t even in the online thesaurus (and all related words I can think of are cold)
