Semantle 11

[Idroppedthescrewinthetuna]

Here we go, thread 11.

We are all well and truly addicted now!

It took me absolutely forever (100+ guesses!) to get any greens at all today. Maddening.

When I did get some they were all in the same tiny area but I would say I was on the right track for a UK-typical usage. But I eventually took one hint and it pointed me to a very different sense (probably the more US-typical one other PPs have mentioned). That helped loads and I solved it two guesses later.

I solved Semantle #91 in 147 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 11.76. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #104. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 59.92 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #91 in 109 guesses with 4 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 4.51. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #61. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 4.18. semantle.novalis.org/

Hard one. The hints on here about America really helped.

That was a toughie. Totally on the wrong track from initial guesses. Must remember this game is thinking of words in US terms.

I solved Semantle #91 in 97 guesses with 3 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 9.56. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #26. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 59.92 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

@ErrolTheDragon I took the, erm, international route, but it's a tougher ride than the boy route as that has more greens to land on.

I have 908
but keep getting cold words
the only other green is 216 so that’s no help. Also don’t get why they’re so far apart.
thinking american isn’t helping

991!

@Rummikub if your 991 is successful, what could you go on?

Took a couple of hints!

I solved Semantle #91 in 57 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 7.83. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #24. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.42. semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #91 in 445 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.10. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.45 (726/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I got there in the end!

I had a look at the full list afterwards - the route I took made sense (with hindsight) but one I thought far more obvious doesnt seem to feature at all!

The main theme was fairly obvious for me - my second guess was 699 and next one 902. The highest example of a 902 I tried was 752 and I remembered to think American - took me more than 50 attempts to come up with (American) 752 terms and eventually needed to google a glossary, was a real ‘OH OF COURSE’ moment when I got it.

I solved Semantle #91 in 63 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.46. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 59.92 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I solved Semantle #91 in 44 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 12.08. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My last guess had a similarity of 10.96. semantle.novalis.org/

Well I went the complete opposite way for most of my guesses. My first green was 193! It’s only the hint (656) that saved me!

I solved Semantle #91 in 53 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 9.03. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.30. https://semantle.novalis.org/

Got it thanks to @InMySpareTime

Still no idea what 774 (one of my hints) means.

I solved Semantle #91 in 80 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.52. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 38.34 (955/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

Took me a while to get my first green, but found it easily after that. Helps that I'm a fan though, can see why some have found this one challenging.

I solved Semantle #91 in 126 guesses with 4 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 6.07. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #30. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 43.46 (986/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

That was awful.

I gave up today.

I solved Semantle #91 in 148 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.47. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #36. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 10.74. semantle.novalis.org/

I got it but I needed a hint!

I solved Semantle #91 in 49 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.78. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #32. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 59.92 (997/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

i’ve had a good run lately, for me!

I solved Semantle #91 in 64 guesses with 3 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 4.04. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #27. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 34.78 (910/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

top 3 greens were all hints. I had to google the meaning of the highest (910) which gave me the answer. Rubbish one today.

I have been pondering this
and have just got lower greens

Will googling 991 synonyms help?

@Rummikub

991 is very useful, synonyms not so much.

I went down so many different themes, got to 999 then went backwards for a bit.

I solved Semantle #91 in 57 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.55. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #23. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 5.64. semantle.novalis.org/

Oh my good god!
painful
had to resort to hints
Previous clues now make sense!
