Semantle 11

[Idroppedthescrewinthetuna]

Here we go, thread 11.

We are all well and truly addicted now!

Wahoo! You are close!

@SouperNoodle that's a bit of a rabbit hole.
The thing you do with those things, you can also do with the target, but it is a very different kind of thing.
Think of things that have that sort of proximity but are more objecty.

@SouperNoodle how can one person perceive what went into 987 without others doing so?

AHA! this did it for me, although I didn't have 987. Thanks @InMySpareTime

Ooh I think that's my best one yet!

@InMySpareTime Thank you!!! That was driving me mad!

Hated today's.

Asked my DS1 to give me a word on my second guess and it gave me a green straight away! A very low one but surprisingly helpful. Thanks, son. 😆

Getting ridiculous now, looking at the list it’s clear that I was on a completely different train of thought for the umpteenth time.

I solved Semantle #91 in 93 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.82. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.93. semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #91 in 39 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #19. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 4.18. semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #91 in 24 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.86. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #21. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.58. semantle.novalis.org/

Well that just happened! I got lucky I guess.

I solved Semantle #91 in 97 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.19. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #26. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 27.98 (643/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Under 100 is ok by me, I was thinking on a different scale than the word list today so the word was a bit disappointing in the end. I think of that word as either massive or confined to a very small space, their sense is quite another meaning I never use.

I solved Semantle #91 in 115 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.91. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 59.92 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I got it when I remembered to think American. I had 902 really early.

I solved Semantle #91 in 75 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.73. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 32.43 (850/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Once I’d got the theme I had to do a bit of Googling as I knew absolutely nothing about it… no hints today though!

I solved Semantle #91 in 116 guesses with 3 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 6.32. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #43. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 18.73. semantle.novalis.org/

I didn't enjoy that. I has to use 3 hints as I was nowhere near being on track.

I tried so many words that I believe are close to the target word, but they all came back cold.

bit of help and googling
I solved Semantle #91 in 243 guesses with 3 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 1.53. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #67. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 19.37. semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #91 in 99 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.08. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.30 (714/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I got 289 at guess 4 and am kicking myself as I used up so many guesses on that, until I hit 987 after over 80 guesses, and got it fairly quickly. So frustrating how sometimes you explore every link with a word and just miss a fairly obvious one!

I solved Semantle #91 in 66 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 7.56. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 60.33 (998/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Hmmmmmm. One of "those" ones. I think this might be frustrating for many. I was lucky with an early high green and guessed a theme.

I solved Semantle #91 in 34 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.81. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 68.15 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I've got soooo many greens but just can't get there.
Am I on the right track please?

926 was a hint but I don't want to use another.
