Wasn’t expecting that!

I solved Semantle #100 in 4 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 38.98 (986/1000). My penultimate guess had a similarity of 5.17. semantle.com/

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 09/05/2022 06:22

No greens...

I solved Semantle #100 in 46 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.13. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #46. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.93. semantle.com/

I had a sort of theme running in my cold words, around the 15 similarity score. Took a different tack... and it was the word...

Two hours to Cemantle. I wonder what joy that has in store today...

So I've clearly overthought it, given that everyone's getting it easily. Here are my greens, are any of them actually useful?

Think of the general theme of your greens.

InMySpareTime · 09/05/2022 06:56

Nope, that just got me another 20 colds.

ErrolTheDragon · 09/05/2022 06:56

That was too quick!, a direct path from the last of of my 'openers'.

I solved Semantle #100 in 19 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.93. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 60.31 (998/1000). semantle.com/

InMySpareTime · 09/05/2022 06:59

I have 986 and 952 now, I was totally not thinking of that aspect of the other greens!

You play redactle don't you? Can you think what word might lead you to your top hits in that?

Etinoxaurus · 09/05/2022 07:07

I solved Semantle #100 in 120 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 0.62. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 33.78 (963/1000). semantle.com/
I liked this one although I should have done better. Very straightforward!

InMySpareTime · 09/05/2022 07:08

Thanks @ErrolTheDragon I was completely down a regal rabbit hole there!

I solved Semantle #100 in 294 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.93. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #112. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 33.48 (958/1000). https://semantle.com/

I made hard work of that, I just hope the cemantle word is actually a word today or I might just write off today and go back to bed Blush

ErrolTheDragon · 09/05/2022 07:12

You could work through the pimantle archive!Grin

I was just thinking that this would be an excellent clue 😀

I solved Semantle #100 in 10 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.19. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 15.80. semantle.com/

@ErrolTheDragon’s clue was key.

InMySpareTime · 09/05/2022 07:32

Now I feel extra stupid for taking 300 guesses when everyone else is getting it in tens at most.
It took me 112 guesses to even get a green, and that was 480 which has no actual link to the word (I'd never replace one with the other in a sentence, they're about as related as "car" and "butterfly" in my mind).
Hopefully I can go back to being less idiotic tomorrow.

DoorLion · 09/05/2022 07:34

Quick today!
I solved Semantle #100 in 41 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.88. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #25. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.02. semantle.com/

It's only obvious once you have the answer 🤗

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 09/05/2022 07:41

If anyone is really struggling, the clue is on the Semantle itself today.

squirrelnutkins1 · 09/05/2022 07:42

Got it in 100...!!!

They're related indirectly via the types of word you found for your higher greens. It's too easy to get stuck on synonyms, isn't it!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 09/05/2022 07:47

I solved Semantle #100 in 106 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.83. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #47. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 2.49. semantle.com/
nice

Took a while to narrow it down but I got into the greens on my first guess!

ApolloandDaphne · 09/05/2022 07:49

I do wish this thread would not offer clues so soon into play. Could we not wait until much later in the day for that?
