@MrsLargeEmbodied @GrouchyKiwi 901 for all.

Lotsofpots · 28/04/2022 10:13

As predicted, I was on entirely the wrong route - had to use a hint, as would never have got it otherwise. @LadyOfTheCanyon if you're still stuck as I was with words linked to 957 and 894, it's worth thinking much wider - what do they often aim to promote, in their most philosophical sense (rather than in reality, sadly).

I solved Semantle #89 in 70 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 5.86. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 28.46. semantle.novalis.org/

I've got 999 and still can't get it!

BowerOfBramble · 28/04/2022 10:22

That took a while! Thanks for gentle hints below. The top 10 aren’t all synonyms but are relatedwords

was on the opposite route for a few guesses and got it on my first ‘more positive’ guess.

InMySpareTime · 28/04/2022 10:29

@HadEnoughOfBears I had 999 for ages, it's not really that helpful. In an American context 999 meant 1000 for all.

Got it from that thank you!

GrouchyKiwi · 28/04/2022 10:59

Tried a slightly different tack and got there.

Very good clue @Lotsofpots . Indeed it is philosophical, rather than the reality of many, sadly.

JaneJeffer · 28/04/2022 11:28

I only had 366 and 686 but I read @InMySpareTime clue and got it from that.

@Lotsofpots that helped so much, I was stuck of those and that route for a while

I literally can't get any more greens 😂

Alwaystired99 · 28/04/2022 12:55

Once I got a green, which I only got from reading hints here, it was ok today surprisingly but I didn't use the hint button so yay!

I thought I'd already put that word in, clearly not! Still, my average is slowly coming down.

JaneJeffer · 28/04/2022 13:16

@SouperNoodle what all should have in 876
