Semantle 11

[Idroppedthescrewinthetuna]

Here we go, thread 11.

We are all well and truly addicted now!

I solved Semantle #94 in 117 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 2.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #32. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 69.80 (999/1000). semantle.com/

First hint was 991, which I had to look up and it was no help!

I solved Semantle #94 in 137 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.26. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #58. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 15.93. semantle.com/

Well, that was bloody ridiculous!

Help please! I'm not in this field at all and I can't think of any more words. I'm nearly there, too... just getting increasingly frustrated.

It was surprisingly annoying wasn’t it!?

@Heronatemygoldfish

If you're a 997, what might you be in?

... as in you, specifically, not the other 997s

I solved Semantle #94 in 228 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.01. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #40. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.46. semantle.com/

Got it on a synonym hunt for my highest green. Think I was lucky to have that green!

Virtually none of my other greens feel connected to the target role.

That was supremely annoying.

I solved Semantle #94 in 126 guesses with 5 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 8.43. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #41. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 49.59 (998/1000). semantle.com/

Unfortunately, only 998 helped me!

Think of where you have to go before you get to.....
?

Thanks @BIWI, took one guess to get it! Least I beat 200 (just). That one was a bit of a mare. I was thinking far too big as usual.

I solved Semantle #94 in 199 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.65. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 30.82 (948/1000). semantle.com/

This is the worst. I have 991, 993 and 994 and they are no help. I've already used 3 hints, I think. Hating this one. It makes no sense.

993 is most helpful. Are you looking at synonyms?

Yes, trying them.

Got there. Bah. It was 4 hints I'd used too, not 3. My worst day so far.

I solved Semantle #94 in 102 guesses with 4 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 8.43. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.99. semantle.com/

Was going round in circles for ages with synonyms that took me further away from 948 (my first green). Some words that I thought were closely related in retrospect are much lower, or not even greens at all.

I solved Semantle #94 in 55 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.36. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 69.80 (999/1000). semantle.com/

Well, that was ridiculous.
(And what in the WORLD does 847 have to do with anything?)

I solved Semantle #94 in 67 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.58. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 24.32 (745/1000). semantle.com/

i think a lot of us followed the same sort of logic, with 621 being the first green for me too!
finally got it going from 986 to 998 to 745.

I have 13 greens over 900, as well as 13 below, and the highest is 989. I just can't think of any more synonyms for 989/other similar words.

@drspouse you might have your own [secret word] in a 989

Think what sort of thing could happen in an 989... its a bit of a red herring.

I have to say I was trying to think along the lines of things that could happen in a 989 but everything I think of is either cold or very low green. I also thought of alternative names for 989 that referenced the things that can happen in a 989 but same issue.

Wow that was a slog, took my average way back up again
