that is ridiculous

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 08/05/2022 19:28

I applaud your resilience

MrsLargeEmbodied · 08/05/2022 19:49

@Aroundtheworldin80moves

i did disappear for some time!
and could not let it go,
but what a time waster that was today!

Ricardothesnowman · 08/05/2022 21:51

That was very peculiar

Mxflamingnoravera · 08/05/2022 22:24

I introduced my son to redactle yesterday and we did todays quickly. So I suggested cemantle- WTF! we resorted to Reddit and got it, but that list is weird. Good job my son is 27 and no prude.

hodgedodge · 09/05/2022 00:13

I think it wasn't a hack, but a badly trained programme.

I work in machine learning and it's all about what datasets you use to train your algorithm - every time we use Twitter or Reddit or the general internet as a word source, it picks up rude words almost immediately. That's why Semantle hasn't had major issues so far, because they use news sources and not the wider internet. News is already censored and it's unlikely they will find any rude words in there. Cemantle seems to use a non-news open word source of some kind and that's backfired spectacularly today.

Or I could be completely wrong and it was a disgruntled worker or teenager on the task today!

AuntieStella · 09/05/2022 07:03

I had vaguely been wondering if there were swear filters on these types of games! at least now I know

WhatICallMyUsername · 09/05/2022 07:05

There was definitely something amiss yesterday as it wasn't accepting some normal words! Interestingly it also said it didn't know what swear is Wink

ErrolTheDragon · 09/05/2022 07:07

Pimantle includes a warning
Please be aware that the dataset includes offensive words (including slurs!) which may be surfaced by the "hint" and "explore" features.

It's always rejected plural nouns and (many) conjugated verbs, and there's no point guessing those anyway. The info button says:

You’re looking for a singular noun, adjective, unconjugated verb or adverb.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 09/05/2022 07:27

someone should have check it before it went out surely

I'm not convinced. Firstly, the info says 'Secret words are all relatively common words in the English language, everyone should know them.' — I'm not sure that this target word is at all familiar. Secondly, if that target word was the correct randomly chosen one, it should show some relationship to the green words. The obvious semantically related words are absent from the list.

SheilaFentiman · 09/05/2022 07:45

Agree, @ErrolTheDragon. “Shoot” is not green whilst “stick” is green, you would put the target word (as an abbreviation) in a sentence with both in exactly the same way. And if it is being used not as an abbreviation but as a scrabble word, similar very short scrabble words got me nowhere.

interestingly, many “musical note words” are green.

Oh my! Just seen yesterday's word list. Very glad I gave up when I saw this thread yesterday. Very, very peculiar.

Chemenger · 09/05/2022 08:06

I would associate yesterday’s word with “dash” mostly, which appears very low down. So much so that it took a while to get the link with shoot and stick.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 09/05/2022 08:12

well i am the first to find it

i think i deserve that after yesterday!

ErrolTheDragon · 09/05/2022 08:22

Well done! It's not weird today then?

SheilaFentiman · 09/05/2022 08:28

I never thought of em-dash. I was thinking of it as the scrabble word for the letter M, but “en” wasn’t green.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 09/05/2022 08:31

i tried a swear word and it was accepted but low down

InMySpareTime · 09/05/2022 08:32

Yay! I was sixth today, that has redeemed my atrocious performance on Semantle.

A slog today. Having words like 920, 903, 790, 736, 504, took me way down the wrong path.
