@RenegadeKeeblerElf something smaller and more structured than 994

I've tried a few words that would fit that description which have all been cold. I'll try and rack my brain to think of more!

@RenegadeKeeblerElf what are some different types of 938?

Thanks, I literally had to Google that then I got it! D'oh!

I solved Semantle #93 in 119 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.74. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #56. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 30.82. semantle.com/

I don't know why but today's really annoyed me, completely irrational I know!! I think it was just the way I made it there! The hint took me in a totally different (wrong) direction.

I solved Semantle #93 in 73 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 4.52. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 70.24 (997/1000). semantle.com/

Rummikub · 02/05/2022 22:24

Yay! I was on a different track as a lower green sent me on a detour.

I solved Semantle #93 in 98 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.27. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 46.57 (909/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

AliasGrape · 02/05/2022 22:42

I’ve managed to get to 150 guesses without a single green, feel like that’s almost an achievement in itself.

im going to have to use the hint button aren’t I? I’d banned myself from it but honestly I can’t think of any more words.

ARRGH AND THE BASTARD HINT HAS GIVEN ME BASTARD 1/1000.

I am so pissed off!

LOL the stupid thing was that, despite my rage, that somehow took me more or less straight there!

I wasted so much time titting about with my high colds and trying direct synonyms just wasting guess after guess. It’s buggered up my average a bit but oh well.

I solved Semantle #93 in 181 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 13.11. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #159. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.02. semantle.com/

That was a rollercoaster @AliasGrape Grin

SheilaFentiman · 03/05/2022 00:07

1/1000 way more useful than many others!

It’s nice to have a bit of excitement before bed 😆

I solved Semantle #94 in 51 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.78. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.12. semantle.com/

InMySpareTime · 03/05/2022 06:18

Today is a very stuck day.
I got 989 on guess 17 but am now approaching 400 guesses and still not quite there.
The direction it's taking is not something I'm even remotely familiar with.
Any tips to get me over the line here?

Got a high green early on but still took me ages!

I solved Semantle #94 in 167 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.51. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 7.84. semantle.com/

InMySpareTime · 03/05/2022 06:58

@LoudParrot help! I'm over 500 guesses now...

Etinoxaurus · 03/05/2022 07:00

Didn’t like be this one! I used my hints when I was on 990 and going nowhere.
I solved Semantle #94 in 110 guesses with 3 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 4.18. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 69.80 (999/1000). semantle.com/

InMySpareTime · 03/05/2022 07:03

Please help, I even have a ???? Between 997 and 996.

InMySpareTime · 03/05/2022 07:14

Well, thanks for nothing guys. Today's word is awful. I had to take a hint to get from 997 to 998, and even then it was a synonym hunt to get the answer from there.
It shouldn't be that hard!

I solved Semantle #94 in 535 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of -0.01. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.48 (929/1000). semantle.com/

I'm still trying to get it, felt bad for not helping but I'm stuck at 989.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 03/05/2022 07:19

Ugh that was horrible. Got stuck for ages around the 950s.

I solved Semantle #94 in 192 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 8.62. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #112. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 49.59 (998/1000). semantle.com/

InMySpareTime · 03/05/2022 07:22

@squirrelnutkins1 it's a much smaller element within a large 989 (I got that on guess 17 and was still floundering 500 guesses later!)

MargaretThursday · 03/05/2022 07:26

I solved Semantle #94 in 8 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.42. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 49.59 (998/1000). semantle.com/

I liked the one. Got 948 very quickly then 998 lead straight to the answer.

InMySpareTime · 03/05/2022 07:27

The word obviously doesn't mean what I thought it meant, as the one thing I'd expect to find there only has a similarity of 18.72.

MrsElm · 03/05/2022 07:31

I solved Semantle #94 in 93 guesses with 4 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 8.43. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #23. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 30.82 (948/1000). semantle.com/

After reading the comments on here, I don't feel as bad about using hints in the high greens! That was bizarre today 😳
