This played more to my strengths.

Got there eventually.

This should have played to my strengths, but I got distracted by high colds and went down at least one "topiary" rabbit hole (not a spoiler, it really didn't help).

I solved Semantle #93 in 163 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.71. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #88. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 70.65 (998/1000). semantle.com/

100 guesses in. No greens....

I solved Semantle #93 in 60 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 5.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #44. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 27.75. semantle.com/

I was stuck in a cold rut around a specific theme, and the hint was very helpful in getting me further!

I solved Semantle #93 in 50 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 27.35. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 70.65 (998/1000). semantle.com/

This was a lovely one.

woohoo! I had a head start this morning 😉

Not. Nice.

@Etinoxaurus based on something you saw? Lucky you 🍀

@InMySpareTime something I did! I’m on a roll today, worldle was in 1.
just gearing up for teatime redactle now.

Should have got it earlier as had 661 on guess 3 but 992 distracted me.

No greens, got a hint (1/1000), then got it within 2!

I solved Semantle #93 in 23 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.37. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.96. semantle.com/

No greens for ages and then a flurry of greens!

Took me a while to get a green, and the one I did threw me a bit. But once I got onto the right track, I found this one pleasingly logical.

I solved Semantle #93 in 84 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.86. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #56. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 50.73 (955/1000). semantle.com/

Only thing is, I’ve now done this, redactle and wordle and now I don’t know what to do… 😂

I got stuck on a wrong track and needed hints to get me out if it....

I solved Semantle #93 in 89 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 10.15. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #28. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.10 (558/1000). semantle.com/

Took forever to get a green!

Definitely a record for me. Guess no 3 was 989 so it was just a bit of fiddling around after that.

I solved Semantle #93 in 13 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 21.38. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 58.42 (987/1000). semantle.com/

Morning, everyone.

My hint was just right today: satisfyingly helpful without making anything too obvious.

I solved Semantle #93 in 58 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 8.37. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #41. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 70.65 (998/1000). semantle.com/

I liked this one too.

I solved Semantle #93 in 35 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 22.95. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 10.80. semantle.com/

Do people have a method for getting systematically towards the greens? I just stab around with fairly random dissimilar words (in terms of topic and part of speech) and it often takes me ages to hit anything useful.

I solved Semantle #93 in 114 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 24.13. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #31. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.57 (714/1000). semantle.com/

I’m a bit of an idiot (lack of sleep) as my first green was 744 and I went all round the houses without somehow trying 989.

I solved Semantle #93 in 42 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 52.15 (970/1000). My penultimate guess had a similarity of 65.75 (996/1000). semantle.com/

I wish you could do it across more than one devise. I started off on my phone in bed, and then realised I had to continue on it, and I prefer something with a larger screen!

@LemonJuiceFromConcentrate my usual method is general topic words like "meet", "animal", "food", "art", and as soon as something is more than 20 similarity I focus on that topic. It might not be the most efficient way but it always gets me there eventually.
