Semantle 11

[Idroppedthescrewinthetuna]

Here we go, thread 11.

We are all well and truly addicted now!

I’m raging that I lost my streak of 55 yesterday because I was travelling but happy enough that I got today’s in 18. Did it sitting on a balcony overlooking the bay of Naples so for once I’d have been happy to spend an hour or two and I got it in minutes!

Everyone is so quick, I took 187 guesses. Had loads of high guesses that didn't quite hit a green so didn't find a theme for quite a while.

My first green was 998 which was a surprise!
I solved Semantle #88 in 26 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.87. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 24.30. semantle.novalis.org/

Trying to work out what I'm missing, 100 guesses in with three low greens!

I solved Semantle #88 in 15 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.50. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 35.43 (851/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Another one whose first green was 998

I solved Semantle #88 in 62 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.60. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #24. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 50.74 (984/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

first green was 902 and went down completely the wrong route.

I got 782 completely randomly and it was a nice logical progression from there.

I solved Semantle #88 in 71 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -2.17. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #46. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 61.68 (996/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #88 in 85 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.70. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #24. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.77 (893/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I'm not sure what that says about us me.

I solved Semantle #88 in 22 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.21. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.62. semantle.novalis.org/

Bearing in mind my low greens were 407 and 225, before getting 998 at 103 after seeing the MNer comment...

I solved Semantle #88 in 107 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.28. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #54. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 31.33 (688/1000). semantle.novalis.org

So thinking about MN gave me 998!

I got 998 almost randomly - it took me another 10 from there.

I solved Semantle #88 in 29 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.94. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 16.11. semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #88 in 136 guesses with 5 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 9.42. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #76. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.19. semantle.novalis.org/
got frustrated and used hints after 76 rubbish guesses.

Wonder what this says about me haha

I solved Semantle #88 in 13 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.33. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 47.35 (971/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #88 in 13 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.60. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 27.33 (328/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I normally run into the hundreds but today I had a complete fluke. Like many, wondering what it says about me!
I solved Semantle #88 in 4 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 62.87 (998/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #88 in 97 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.76. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #81. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 32.76 (761/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Had come here to glean ideas after finally getting two low greens and something in the comments sparked an idea ..took 7 from there.

Much better today

I solved Semantle #88 in 59 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.39. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 26.01 (147/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Got to 998 pretty quickly but then went round and round the houses before finally getting it! Brings my average down a bit though, after a few 'big' days.

No greens at all today - was working my way up the cold words, got a particular cold word, made what I thought was a fairly
small leap, and that was the answer

I solved Semantle #88 in 91 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.58. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #91. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 24.50. semantle.novalis.org/

I got 998 at guess 10, then failed totally to make the connection to 1000 for ages.

I solved Semantle #88 in 37 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.47. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 31.10 (675/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Quick today!

I solved Semantle #88 in 24 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.69. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 16.11. semantle.novalis.org/

Loads of greens. No idea.

I didn't finish yesterdays (because I started it late, that's my excuse).
I haven't got the same history on my phone and desktop which is annoying but I think I'm going to start doing it on the desktop so I can dip in and out while my phone is off/on DND.

I was baffled for a few minutes today but then got lucky, only 5 greens and 3 of them were a variant of the same (not target it turned out!) word. 79 for me, my average is still well over 100 though.

Have finally found a green at guess 35. Usually I luck onto one sooner than that.

I solved Semantle #88 in 63 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.33. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #62. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 62.87 (998/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Was off an a completely different tangent, then had a brainwave!
