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!

Not sure how I feel about the hints!

I solved Semantle #82 in 72 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 7.72. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 33.49 (947/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

The hints are not compulsory, and are no different to asking for help on here, or looking up synonyms in an online thesaurus.

I solved Semantle #82 in 77 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.78 (720/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I think after looking I'd prefer the hits if they were more like what we have here-like a sentence it might be in or a suggestion rather than a higher number. That would be harder to do though.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 21/04/2022 16:51

I like the odd clues on here. And trying to explain something without mentioning it

gogohm · 21/04/2022 17:03

Well that wasn't easy, not helped but no breaks at work at all and a run to the halls of residence to drop dd back. I need a drink!

ScrambledSmegs · 21/04/2022 17:32

Damn I'm up to 993 and now just scraping the synonym barrel. Do I have the right idea or do I need to think a little more broadly?

ScrambledSmegs · 21/04/2022 17:34

Aha!

LadyOfTheCanyon · 21/04/2022 17:54

I don't mind Cemantle, the lack of a Give Up button spurs me on! I don't sleep well so I'm enjoying word puzzles while my DH snores alongside me!

@drspouse if you 438 you're making ?

If I 438 I'm making a 991 which does not help!
I now also have 908, 934 and 955.

JaneJeffer · 21/04/2022 19:55

you 908 to make a ?

RenegadeKeeblerElf · 21/04/2022 19:58

463 on my first guess but 70 guesses later I'm really struggling! Any gentle hints? (yesterday I used the hint button and it just have me 999 which basically gave me the answer!)

@RenegadeKeeblerElf what would 993 recognise?

Have you tried redactle? Someone mentioned it on the cemantle thread and my god, it is mind blowing.

drspouse · 21/04/2022 20:03

JaneJeffer · 21/04/2022 19:55

I would say a 991 or a 998.
I have never got so many high green words without getting it!
