991 is very close!

SheilaFentiman · 17/05/2022 18:55

Shall I PM you?

Oh, 991 got me there.

JaneJeffer · 17/05/2022 19:25

@SheilaFentiman thanks but I gave up

SheilaFentiman · 17/05/2022 19:27

Ok :-)

Painful for me today.

I solved Semantle #108 in 195 guesses with 3 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 17.69. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 40.55 (988/1000). semantle.com/

I’m still stuck on this. My highest are 998, 997 and 996. Which sort of direction should I go in?

To the root!

To the root!

Thank you! Another one where I don’t know I could have not tried that. I tried literally every one of the synonyms in the thesaurus (I was getting pretty desperate!)

Meh

Redcrayons · 17/05/2022 21:17

Need a nudge please. The top one is a hint, obviously.

@ErrolTheDragon and @EdwinsActsOfKindness I'm sorry if that sent you on a wild goose chase! I was being sarcastic - those words are not words that I think anyone would be routinely using Grin

BIWI · 17/05/2022 21:38

@Redcrayons if you were to be 507ing and 541ing you might be [secret word]ing to the left or the right

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 17/05/2022 21:40

@BIWI Grin I’ll admit that after I solved it, I did have a moment of thinking “would it be rude to ask BIWI what she does to warrant using those words on a daily basis?!”

BIWI · 17/05/2022 21:43
Grin

Well, I used to be a market researcher. Now I'm retired ...

ErrolTheDragon · 17/05/2022 21:46

As I didn't have any of those words, it didn't matter. I think the idea that the word might be in some way job related made me try a few random things not close to my highest colds, which got me some greens.

SheilaFentiman · 17/05/2022 21:57

I suppose those three words are always found with the target, even if the target isn’t always found with them?

OP posts:
TyneFilth · 17/05/2022 22:13

Used a lot of hints the past couple of days just to get into the greens. I'm going off this...

ErrolTheDragon · 17/05/2022 22:13

Yes, it must be something like that.

Redcrayons · 17/05/2022 22:24

Got it. Thanks for the clue. My worst for a while, Hints were absolutely useless.

@SheilaFentiman thank you. Slowly climbing again
