I solved Semantle #86 in 132 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.96. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #43. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 49.69 (988/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

I got 995 at guess 82 but then thought of just about everything except the right answer till I saw one of the clues on here. Which was a bit ironic given where I've been today - a big 994 going into the 824.

Sounds lovely @ErrolTheDragon

i enjoyed todays. Compared to yesterday it seemed quite a logical climb once you get in the greens.

DiscombobulatedAgain · 25/04/2022 18:50

Thanks Edwin, that helped. Solved it abt 20-30 guesses later.

Ok slightly off topic but ... I'm about to go off grid aka going on a cruise, recommendations for puzzle books for us to get our word game fix's or apps which don't need an internet connection, it's 'surprisingly' hard to get a signal in the middle of the Atlantic (and rather pricy!)

So long as you know where to stop?!

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 25/04/2022 19:24

I agree the majorities of the greens are logical, but I climbed a random track unrelated to pretty much all of them!

Okbutnotgreat · 25/04/2022 20:15

my third go and got it in 66 today though not sure the final word had much to do with most of my greens. Addictive though.

Now I feel silly, each day I copy someone's report and type in my results....now (from a comment on the redactle thread) I find that if I click "share my results" then Semantle will do it for me!

@Doubleraspberry 995s that end abruptly.

Thank you!!!!!!

ItWasPeculiarButBearable · 25/04/2022 20:58

Very frustrating today. Is 339 any use whatsoever?

JaneJeffer · 25/04/2022 21:08

MN is doing my head in. I had typed a full post to whoever inquired about 339 and the app won’t let me post it so hopefully this will work.

i got there from 339 but you need to think alongside it to get a higher green.

JaneJeffer · 25/04/2022 21:09

Now I'm off to complain about the fecking app.

ThePontiacBandit · 25/04/2022 22:23

I was struggling with 500 greens despite using 2 hints and this hint took me right up to 997 and then the answer! 😃

Oh bless you!! 😅

I thought that everyone was writing it all out too! Till I discovered the share button..

jumblehigher · 26/04/2022 01:33

Got there after going through quite a few synonyms. Getting better at thinking more ‘laterally’, but seem to have a habit of making my way through some sort of minority significance route and not grasping the broader theme until looking at the list after getting the word 😅

I solved Semantle #87 in 111 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.38. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #35. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 2.74. semantle.novalis.org/

OnlyTheBravest · 26/04/2022 05:22

My lower 900 green words did not help as much with guessing the word but I think I got fixated on a certain line of thinking.

I solved Semantle #87 in 68 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.78. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 35.18 (931/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

comfortablyfrumpy · 26/04/2022 06:39

I thiught I had already tried that word... just goes to show that I should check.
Ran out of inspiration and resorted to hints 😞

I solved Semantle #87 in 125 guesses with 3 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 6.52. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #51. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 55.64 (995/1000). semantle.novalis.org/
