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

Just tried that and got it in one second. Ha ha showing my age.

Doubleraspberry · 02/05/2022 14:51

We generally either get Heardle in 1 or not at all!

EatSleepReplete · 02/05/2022 14:51

I solved Semantle #93 in 131 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.56. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #25. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 31.05. semantle.com/

Took forever messing around with dozens of greens & then spotted a clue upthread, how funny!

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 02/05/2022 15:10

I solved Semantle #93 in 86 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.85. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #78. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 70.65 (998/1000). semantle.com/

Guess 78 was first green. Got it easily after

Grin I only get them if they're ancient like me

theDudesmummy · 02/05/2022 15:27

I didn't try Heardle before because I thought it would be modern stuff, which I mostly don't really know (I'm pretty ancient in music terms, most things from after the mid 90s would not be likely to be recognised by me!). Lucky to get an 80s one first time. How often are they oldie songs?

JaneJeffer · 02/05/2022 15:30

@theDudesmummy the first one I did was Fleetwood Mac which I got in one second. After that there was loads of songs I never heard of so I gave up doing it.

Redcrayons · 02/05/2022 16:06

Also got Heardle in 1 today. I have equally had a days when I’ve never heard of the song or artist.

@theDudesmummy tends to be fairly evenly split between oldies and recent stuff.

ScrambledSmegs · 02/05/2022 16:36

My first green was 970 after a bunch of random guesses, it was pretty straightforward after that. A nice quick one for me. Heardle was nice and easy today too!

I solved Semantle #93 in 25 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.62. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.44. semantle.com/

ErrolTheDragon · 02/05/2022 17:00

A slightly indirect route with my first green being 859, but quite logical thereafter

I solved Semantle #93 in 59 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #40. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 70.65 (998/1000). semantle.com/

ThePontiacBandit · 02/05/2022 17:03

Similar to pp, I got 970 quite quickly, got some greens but needed a hint at 994 to get me to the answer. Good for my average though:

I solved Semantle #93 in 61 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 39.97 (730/1000). My penultimate guess had a similarity of 64.56 (995/1000). semantle.com/

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 02/05/2022 17:13

I wish they hadn't brought in the hint button. It's actually not that helpful. But too easy to press!

TraceyLacey · 02/05/2022 18:24

I solved Semantle #93 in 83 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.92 (729/1000). semantle.com/

Cuck00soup · 02/05/2022 18:38

Arghhhh so I have 999/1000 and the next obvious word isn't the answer.

Cuck00soup · 02/05/2022 18:40

Oh I had added an S! Makes sense now.

RenegadeKeeblerElf · 02/05/2022 20:30

Can anyone help me with a clue from 994? I have lots of other greens but all on that theme.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 02/05/2022 20:30

Used a few hints!

I solved Semantle #93 in 101 guesses with 4 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 3.34. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #79. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.13. semantle.com/

Wallawallakoala · 02/05/2022 20:37

I am really struggling with this one today! It's an average wrecker today for me.

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 02/05/2022 21:10

I solved Semantle #93 in 102 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.95. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #89. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.33. semantle.com/

Agree that the hint button isn’t actually that helpful!

SheilaFentiman · 02/05/2022 21:15

@RenegadeKeeblerElf something smaller and more structured than 994

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 02/05/2022 21:15

RenegadeKeeblerElf · 02/05/2022 20:30

Can anyone help me with a clue from 994? I have lots of other greens but all on that theme.

the target word isn’t a type of 994 but would be under the same umbrella term (like, for example, apples and pears would both be types of fruit).

SheilaFentiman · 02/05/2022 21:17

@Wallawallakoala what do you have so far

RenegadeKeeblerElf · 02/05/2022 21:23

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 02/05/2022 21:15

the target word isn’t a type of 994 but would be under the same umbrella term (like, for example, apples and pears would both be types of fruit).

You mean like 970, 945, 938, 917, 909, 785, 735, 733, 730, 539, 485, 422? I feel like I've exhausted my vocabulary there 😭

OnlyTheBravest · 02/05/2022 21:24

Enjoyed today's offering. Finally managed one without a hint!

I solved Semantle #93 in 53 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.23. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #23. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.40. semantle.com/
