My usual high number of guesses. I was on the wrong track as usual but it was a fascinating experience

I solved today's Redactle (#29) in 356 guesses with an accuracy of 42.70%.

FFS!
I considered this word early on but didn’t put it in. Some of the comments here made me rethink.

Needless to say, there was a lot of googling.

I solved Semantle #97 in 309 guesses with 13 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 12.66. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 46.33 (987/1000). semantle.com/

Utterly bizarre, can't see how most of the answers are linked at all.

Arse, that will teach me to have two -le threads open at the same time!

@User12398712 you only have two? 😜

Fifthtimelucky · 06/05/2022 12:29

I've had a bad couple of days. Yesterday's was 250 guesses with 48% accuracy. Annoying, as I should have got it about 20 earlier.

I gave up on the day before at 350 guesses. I don't know what the accuracy was, but well below 30% I imagine. At about 300 I thought I was having a breakthrough, but it became clear that my knowledge of chemistry just wasn't good enough.

Hoping for a better day today!

Very annoyingly there were two key words from the opening paragraph that I could have sworn I'd tried. (I actually double-checked the list of guesses to make sure!). I don't know if I'd have got the answer from them, but it would have got me a lot closer than where I was.

TitsInAbsentia · 06/05/2022 16:17

ARGHHHH finally!
#29 in 119 guesses with an appalling 36.13% (lack of) accuracy...
I just started firing in lots of general words hoping to string a sentence together 💩

User12398712 · 06/05/2022 16:48

Tick tock tick tock...

Going to get the washing in which should take me nicely up to 5 o'clock. Dinner's all ready just to bung in the oven so can settle down to today's with no distractions.

I was 11th 😄

User12398712 · 06/05/2022 17:11

14 was the point that I knew exactly what I was looking for but I'm not sure how to narrow it down and it's not an area I'm hugely familiar with so I'm spamming ideas at the moment...currently on 30!

Boopear · 06/05/2022 17:19

I so should have done better on that one!

I knew what I was looking for at 22 but resisted googling and ended up racking my brains and getting it in about 180 so good luck!

That was more of a slog than it should have been! Quite pleased with myself that I resisted the urge to look up the answer.

General topic straightforward, then a bit of narrowing down.

Nice and straightforward today.

Can someone tell me yesterday’s answer please? Ive been so busy today I didn’t get a chance to look at it. I had about 60 guesses on it yesterday but had no good leads.

InMySpareTime · 06/05/2022 17:37

Yesterday's was cannibalism. It made me want a nice bottle of chianti
