I solved Semantle #100 in 108 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 4.74. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #68. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 76.04 (999/1000). semantle.com/
Had to get a clue. My greens had nothing much to do with the answer. I'm very surprised by a word it doesn't know!

My rule is "I only use a hint when it's really pissing me off and I don't have time for its shit/have to get on with things."

When things are more laid back timewise I tend to try to get to about 60 before looking at the thread and around 80+ if still nothing before going for a hint, but I've only got hints I think 2-3 games in total as they're usually both rubbish and annoying.

JaneJeffer · 09/05/2022 13:42

The hint I got today actually helped for once!

This describes my rule perfectly!

I solved Semantle #100 in 83 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 7.55. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #32. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.53. semantle.com/

I found that quite hard, not many links between the greens I got!

Spudlet · 09/05/2022 14:29

Best yet, I think!

I solved Semantle #100 in 47 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 60.31 (998/1000). semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #100 in 41 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.52. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #23. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 60.31 (998/1000).

Tricky today, I think - no logical progression for me.

I solved Semantle #100 in 33 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.89. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.67 (611/1000). semantle.com/

SlightlyJaded · 09/05/2022 15:05

Oooh a nice quick one today
33 guesses

I now have hours to kill until Redactle is updated at 5pm....

Alwaystired99 · 09/05/2022 15:23

I got no sense of achievement from that one but I did use a guess as wasn't in the mood.

I solved Semantle #100 in 64 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 9.77. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #27. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.70 (35/1000). semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #100 in 82 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.21. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #81. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 32.55 (947/1000). semantle.com/

Something upthread put me on the path. I only look on the thread when I have run out of ideas of my own or time is tight, or I can't really be bothered.

DinosaursEatMan · 09/05/2022 15:45

I solved Semantle #100 in 95 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.66. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #92. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 33.48 (958/1000). semantle.com/

Argh. Didn’t get my first green until guess 92, then quickly found it.

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 09/05/2022 15:54

I solved Semantle #100 in 68 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.46. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 60.31 (998/1000). semantle.com/

my first green was 301 which didn’t help me at all! A clue upthread helped me to get into more relevant greens.

I quite like the clues on here. I try on my first and then only look here for clues if I start to flounder otherwise I don’t come to the thread until I’ve solved it. I’m a bit unsure about the hints, they’re a bit of a lucky dip. Some of them are useless!

I solved Semantle #100 in 3 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 25.50 (582/1000). My penultimate guess had a similarity of 14.89. semantle.com/

Absolutely can't believe today's fluke. The last few ones I've been rubbish and it's taken me so long and used loads of hints. Now I dont know what to do to fill my time for the rest of the day.

comfortablyfrumpy · 09/05/2022 16:04

Not too bad today...

I solved Semantle #100 in 57 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.46. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 60.31 (998/1000). semantle.com/

NannyGythaOgg · 09/05/2022 16:14

I got today's in ONE.

Usually takes me well over 100 so was amused

zoop1 · 09/05/2022 16:16

@BowerOfBramble felicitous clouts, at that!

Neu · 09/05/2022 17:02

I actually think my brain must be switched off or something because I've had about half a dozen hints and I cannot even link those words together Blush

@Neu what's your best green? Perhaps we can give you a clue?

Sometimes often the hints are unhelpful.

Neu · 09/05/2022 18:20

This is them....

Bigger than 927.

BIWI · 09/05/2022 18:26

OK. 927 is a name for a specific number. [secret word] is also a name for a specific (bigger) number.

Neu · 09/05/2022 18:34

Thank you!!! Was on the wrong track 😂

Haudyourwheesht · 09/05/2022 18:38

I use a hint if I don't have much time to waste kill. Today's hint 1/1000. Cheers Semantle.

Haudyourwheesht · 09/05/2022 18:42

Cheers @BIWI
