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!

I solved Semantle #83 in 59 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.19. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 2.71. semantle.novalis.org/

Complete luck for me today, glad its done quickly though so I can get on with the rest of my day :)

Oh ...just read the new redactle is available at 16:00 UTC so no more of that till teatime.

I solved Semantle #83 in 38 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.13. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #20. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.28. semantle.novalis.org/

Pleased with that, but it's an odd jump from a high green!

Can someone pm me a word or clue to break into the redactle please? Completely befuddled

Todays made no sense to me at all. Had to resort to hints.

I solved Semantle #83 in 76 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 0.40. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #22. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 31.41 (909/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Quite pleasing this morning after yesterday- got lucky with an early green that lead into a nice logical progression. A nice change!

I solved Semantle #83 in 66 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.24. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of -1.89. semantle.novalis.org/

So many greens, no answer 😆

Me too, I’ve been in greens for about 40/50 guesses! Hence arriving on the thread 😁

Gave in and used a hint which got me there. Not sure I like the hint function, I prefer the more cryptic clues on the thread!

I don’t want to use a hint when it’s so close!! From then I mean, I’d love one from you. Tried every word I can think of relating to 987.

@BowerOfBramble 993 temporarily

Think of 993, with conditions.

Thank you kind hinters!

I solved Semantle #83 in 60 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.16. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 4.04. semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #83 in 83 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.43. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 20.42. semantle.novalis.org/

Stuck on 993 and going round and round, just 'scoring' lower greens. And don't understand the hints!

My top greens are 993, 992, 988, 986. Any help gratefully received!

[redactle clue not Semantle] A pp said her DS helped her with redactle as he is studying it at A-level, I assume he is taking A-level Physics 😉

Got it! Just came to me like a flash!

I solved Semantle #83 in 110 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #51. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 31.99 (921/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I've just tried redactle.

I solved today's Redactle (#15) in 85 guesses with an accuracy of 35.29%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I was pleased with that, although, tbf it was something I know a lot about, so once I'd got a couple of good words lots more came quickly.

@Aroundtheworldin80moves

A level physics or maths (mechanics) would help.

My usual tactic of getting a highish green then synonyming the crap out of it was pretty useless today! Got there in the end thanks to some of your hints 🙏🏻

I solved Semantle #83 in 50 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.64. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.51. semantle.novalis.org/

Got 993 and then stuck for ages but a helpful clue unthread nudged me to the right answer 😀

I solved Semantle #83 in 26 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.53. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 31.41 (909/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

More luck than anything today.

I'm trying redactle too. I'm at 400 guesses!! I know the topic but obviously not enough about it!

I thought i would be faster as got a high green at guess 12. Just lucky with my final guess!

Can I suggest that those of you who are playing redactle set up a new thread? Otherwise the hints are going to be very confusing if you're trying to do semantle!
