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!

I solved Semantle #79 in 63 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.08. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #42. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 14.03. semantle.novalis.org/

Rather a surprise to get it then.

I enjoyed today’s one much more than yesterday’s. Went off on a bit of a tangent near the start sticking too closely to one of my earlier close words, but got there after not too long!

VivienneDelacroix · 18/04/2022 01:22

My lowest number of guesses yet. I'm happy with that.

How did that happen? I fell asleep before finishing yesterday, ( very annoying, didn’t get chance to use @JaneJeffer clue) have just woken up and threw random words in Easter Shock

ChuckBerrysBoots · 18/04/2022 01:42

Annoyingly got sidetracked down a connected route instead of using one of my usual openers, which would have got me straight to 805. Happy to get it in 47 with only three greens but would have got it faster otherwise!

jumblehigher · 18/04/2022 01:56

Back to the flukes then Confused at least it will bring down my average guesses… Grin

I suspect most will find this without clues or thesaurus so quite satisfying. I wasn't as quick as most of you so far but took a while to strike green.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 18/04/2022 03:52

Oh that was really unsatisfying! I was noodling around with random words, hadn't got a single green and then wham! Just got it on a whim.

That was annoying. I got 925 early on, and 894. Tried everything that connected them.

Only got it when I thought more US...

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 18/04/2022 06:19

Argh why was singular 984 cold??

MrsElm · 18/04/2022 06:20

I solved Semantle #79 in 5 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 44.80 (805/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.44. semantle.novalis.org/

One of my usual starting words was 805, then a lucky guess. Feels oddly unsatisfying!

That's good for me anyway.
I had one green (608) and tried the usual thing you'd do that with, then the word.

Lotsofpots · 18/04/2022 06:23

Took a little while to get a green but then got it within 6 guesses. Nice and logical.

My normal opening word is 805, but I didn't go straight for specifics.

Redcrayons · 18/04/2022 06:39

Well after yesterday’s disaster this was much better. Annoyingly it’s usually one of my starter words but I changed it up with a smaller version of the word. Otherwise I’d have for this is in 8.

What am I going to do for the rest of day now?

Etinoxaurus · 18/04/2022 06:49

I’m obviously up a blind alley- 50 guesses and some greens, but I’m sensing not on the right track
