Urgh.
Horrible today. Just horrible.
And absolutely nothing to do with the various paths i was following, I thought I’d covered every type of 989 but missed this one. Took 2 hints (first one I didn’t even know what it meant and wondered if it was a typo) to get on the right track.
I solved Semantle #94 in 156 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 5.39. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #20. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 19.51. semantle.com/
