Semantle 11

[Idroppedthescrewinthetuna]

Here we go, thread 11.

We are all well and truly addicted now!

I sometimes get a sinking feeling when I start hitting low to mid greens - I know that they’re not usually close enough to be direct synonyms but I still get stuck in this loop of entering endless versions of them, which usually just get lower. I need to get better at thinking more laterally I think.

The greens I had today weren’t really that related to the target word, and I had a really
set idea of what they were leading to which I couldn’t seem to shake.

I solved Semantle #85 in 44 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 10.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.48. semantle.novalis.org/

First time using the hint button, kept getting greens but not getting the answer.

That's where I've been going with it, but can't seem to get there.

Up to 994 now, so close.

I solved Semantle #85 in 107 guesses with 5 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 13.15. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #38. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 51.57 (991/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Had help from Alexa (my thesaurus!).

Phew, your hint gave it away to me even though I didn't have 963 but did have enough words for the hint to make sense. It was getting very frustrating despite my first word being 570!

Erm yeah Definitely very similar to a recent one!!

Same! I was on a very different track with 945 etc

Really was a lucky guess

Not too bad but my average isn't budging.

Since the new update I can't bookmark so find it impossible to follow this thread.

@ChuckBerrysBoots

If you 963 people somewhere you may say they will (target word) together.

Dammmmmmmit I was between two words when I read this. I thought the target word would have been "963" so I input 750 I then put 159 stupidly thinking the target must be 963.

I solved Semantle #85 in 3 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 29.85 (750/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 24.37 (159/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

So close to the perfect score.

Lots of green guesses today.

Weird one today and had to use a hint to get me into greens. Definitely seems familiar and quite recent but I can get back on the app again after the last thread disappeared for me!

My high greens were not very helpful. I resorted to hints, one was useless, the other led me to the answer.

Sorry if my clue was a bit obvious! I need to work on my crypticness!

I just discovered Semantle and played for the first time: wasn't sure what I was doing at first 😂, was a bit all over the place. Good fun though!

Thanks for the new thread!

my fist green guess although pleasingly early doesn’t seem to actually have anything to do with the target! I nearly didn’t put the target word in as I was convinced we’d had it before.

Thanks for thread

That must be a record for me.

it took me ages to get to my first green today

Aha, found you all! I got nowhere this morning so came back to it just now and got it in half a dozen more guesses.

😅 I used to avoid hints, now I'm trying to get my average down I'm really enjoying trying to work it out from clues
