Semantle 11

[Idroppedthescrewinthetuna]

Here we go, thread 11.

We are all well and truly addicted now!

Got there. First time I've gone above 100. Thanks for hints SpareTime, they would have helped if I were smarter.

I solved Semantle #90 in 119 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 4.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 76.54 (998/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

AuntieStella That would probably have helped a lot if I had seen it, so thank you too!

So the clues here are not jeloinh

and I don’t like the hints as they’re rubbish and obtuse

i have 853 and 852
as my highest

“Helping” ⬆️

@Rummikub there's only an obtuse link between those and the answer, perhaps think of other peripheral items associated with those.

Dammitt!

ive tried variations around 853
should it be more 852?

Ok that got me to 977!

trawling back through thread for clues

852 if anything, or the kind of 853 used on those. Think of other sensory outputs of the overarching structure with the on, and how they're delivered.

Thank you
i have 981 now

considerinf “how they’re delivered”

school should be like this - collaborative!

@Rummikub think peripherally about 981. How do you get the full use of it? Think more about streams than torrents.

I worked it out from the nudges here - great clues, thank you!
I solved Semantle #90 in 22 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.61. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 3.38. semantle.novalis.org/

That was a quick one for me today. I told myself I'll stop doing the other one as it often drives me crazy but can I resist......

@InMySpareTime
omg that got me to 997

997 double sided

Eek 998

Yay!

I solved Semantle #90 in 114 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.09. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 76.54 (998/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Surprisingly quick (for me) thanks to an earlyish good green. My average has now finally sneaked under 120!!

I solved Semantle #90 in 49 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.87. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 26.58. semantle.novalis.org/

Thank you for the nudges!

on a side note I didn’t know that was the difference between 997 and target!

I like 875!

@Rummikub there are double sided 997s but I wanted you to avoid getting stuck at 998. The main difference is that 997s go both ways.

Interesting. Thank you!
I’m a bit of a Luddite

What’s an 873??

@Rummikub a thing that mixes two lots of the thing you put in and puts them together so only one comes out

I am so stuck! I’ve been doing it on and off all day. My greens are 538, 573, 616, 839, 935, 949 and 983 - but I can’t seem to get any further with this theme. Could anyone please tell me if I’m going along the right lines? Thank you!
