I solved Semantle #93 in 62 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.74. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #41. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 81.58 (999/1000). semantle.com/

Really happy with today's. It took me ages to get a green but once I did, it was pretty quick.

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… 😂

There's cemantle and pimantle - both similar to semantle (although pimantle is more semantic associations so a bit easier), and also worldle and heardle.

Worldle is geography and heardle is 'guess the intro'

That should take up a few more minutes of your day!

I solved Semantle #93 in 10 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 39.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #1. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 41.95 (820/1000). semantle.com/

my hint is to play wordle first!

Seriously first time luck there!

Heronatemygoldfish · 02/05/2022 09:33

Augh. Yet another where I got sidetracked.

I solved Semantle #93 in 91 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.52. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #36. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.97 (730/1000). semantle.com/

BowerOfBramble · 02/05/2022 09:40

I solved Semantle #93 in 59 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.28. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #27. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.86. semantle.com/

Can't believe the averages have gone 😭

BIWI · 02/05/2022 10:08

I haven't been redirected to the new site yet for some reason.

ChuckBerrysBoots · 02/05/2022 10:09

synonym central today!

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 think that's probably the best way to do it. I try a mixture of tangible things as well as conceptual or more abstract things, so (for example) 'television', 'literature', 'courage' etc.

Once I'm getting scores in the mid to high 20s, I try and work out if there's a theme - although I have learnt that this can take you off in the wrong direction!

GrouchyKiwi · 02/05/2022 10:19

I usually try one of the helpful words for today's answer but didn't for some reason. I might have had it sooner.

I solved Semantle #93 in 51 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.52. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #40. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 61.53 (991/1000). semantle.com/

Peckhampalace · 02/05/2022 10:31

Don't forget nerdle (number/equation).

drspouse · 02/05/2022 10:45

I solved Semantle #93 in 21 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 17.86. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.15 (561/1000). semantle.com/

I tend to use the words "emotion" and "action" early on to tell which way to go.

Peckhampalace · 02/05/2022 11:06

I solved Semantle #93 in 127 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.34. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #71. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 70.24 (997/1000). semantle.com/

22 greens before I got there, I think my upbringing showed in my thinking and led me slightly off route. DH submitted a suggestion at the end that got me close.

Taleas0ldastime · 02/05/2022 11:06

I solved Semantle #93 in 47 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.74. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 70.65 (998/1000). semantle.com/

Saisong · 02/05/2022 11:13

54 for me today, so middling. Got stuck on a stupid theme that actually took me higher and higher up the greens, but they were never (ok maybe eventually) going to get me to the target word. I resorted to a hint after 994 which pretty much took me straight there. So a bit frustrating really.

DiscombobulatedAgain · 02/05/2022 11:38

I solved Semantle #93 in 143 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 4.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #66. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 51.38 (961/1000). semantle.com/

Thought I'd tried the word already, but had just tried every other similar word, lol.

HeadacheGrey · 02/05/2022 11:42

Etinoxaurus · 02/05/2022 08:16

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

Surely there's Quordle, Octordle, Sedecordle, Bardle, Hogwartle, Nerdle, Mathler, Worldle to fit in before Redactle? 🤣

Grin

I don't know how I'd manage all of these if I wasn't retired!

JaneJeffer · 02/05/2022 12:20

I solved Semantle #93 in 104 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.90. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #30. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 70.65 (998/1000). semantle.com/
Got sidetracked by the wrong theme. Again.

valleyofadventure · 02/05/2022 13:47

I feel I should have got this one sooner! Took me a while to get in the right ballpark

I solved Semantle #93 in 92 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 27.35. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #32. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 70.65 (998/1000). semantle.com/

Redcrayons · 02/05/2022 13:53

happy with that. I’m getting the hang of not getting sidetracked by the low greens.

I solved Semantle #93 in 51 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 40.05 (733/1000). semantle.com/

theDudesmummy · 02/05/2022 14:23

I tried Heardle for the first time today and got it in 2!!
