I solved Semantle #112 in 50 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of -0.32. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.62 (695/1000). semantle.com/

I am very definitely fed up with today's.

Hints have sort of got me somewhere but I am stuck on 998 and can't get higher.

comfortablyfrumpy · 21/05/2022 22:45

Well feckity feck.
I could have sworn I had used the target word ages back ... but it appears not. Bit of a dog's breakfast today...

I solved Semantle #112 in 166 guesses with 5 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 5.60. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #45. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 52.91 (999/1000). semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #112 in 132 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.20. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #34. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 10.72. semantle.com/

Thanks for the clues. The higher greens I had (985, 991, 992) were more of a hinderance than a help vs 952

OK, so after 5pm can anyone who got 602 or 694 tell me how, and I what way are they related to the target word???

I'm getting fed up of this game I think.

I don't suppose anyone would have got either of those words. For the former, I can see that the target word is relevant to it (rather than the other way round) - look at the Wikipedia entry for that word and you'll find the target or close derivative of it mentioned quite a few times.

Hated todays! Just kept taking hints and barely any words seemed to link.

HOW THE EVERLIVING FUCK WAS THAT THE WORD?!?!

I had about 50 greens and none were in the same area at all. I don’t even know why I even guessed the word at all, it wasn’t like the other greens by miles.

I solved Semantle #113 in 225 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.43. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 6.86. semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #113 in 57 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 16.28. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #22. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.35. semantle.com/

Falling out of love with this. My one hint (994) was very fortunate!!

InMySpareTime · 22/05/2022 06:04

Sea of bloody greens again. I really don't know much about the theme I seem to have, is it a different kind of these?

InMySpareTime · 22/05/2022 06:15

Ok got it, but it was nothing like any of the greens I had (and I had 50 of the greens).
I'd even guessed the two main things involved and the thing it's on and they were all cold.
That is a ridiculous list.

I solved Semantle #113 in 344 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -3.21. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.03. semantle.com/

SheilaFentiman · 22/05/2022 06:43

864 was my 7th guess after I used a random word for guess 2 and got 281.

still needed 2 hints!

InMySpareTime · 22/05/2022 06:48

I did get a ???? With a similarity over 50. It's not something I'd logically link with the word except very tenuously.

MrsElm · 22/05/2022 07:22

I solved Semantle #113 in 99 guesses with 4 hints. My first guess had a similarity of -1.88. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.38. semantle.com/

I would not have got it without my final hint. The other hints were words I had to Google to get the meaning, and I am struggling to see their connection to the target.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 22/05/2022 08:16

went for extra hints, and googled one of the hints
I solved Semantle #113 in 177 guesses with 3 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 4.35. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #33. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 14.89. semantle.com/

ApolloandDaphne · 22/05/2022 08:40

The words I found myself and the hints I have got appear to be completely unrelated. I am now utterly confused.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 22/05/2022 08:47

Luck not deduction.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 22/05/2022 08:48

Helps if I remember to press paste ..

I solved Semantle #113 in 46 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.80. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #43. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 6.84. semantle.com/

My greens were 222 and 104

ApolloandDaphne · 22/05/2022 09:13

Can someone help me to make some links here?

Actually I have found it. No idea how all these words relate!

ThePurpleGirl · 22/05/2022 09:20

I had loads of greens and was stuck, took a hint which set me off on a load of greens on a completely different theme, got stuck again and took another hint which was 994 which as @Neu said was very helpful.

I solved Semantle #113 in 95 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 25.05 (323/1000). My penultimate guess had a similarity of 55.18 (994/1000). semantle.com/

Needed those hints today

I solved Semantle #113 in 76 guesses with 3 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 22.50. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 57.63 (998/1000). semantle.com/

ErrolTheDragon · 22/05/2022 09:45

Seems like nearly everyone has had to use hints today. I'm still resisting them, but I take it that getting some high greens early may be a rut?

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 22/05/2022 09:51

@ErrolTheDragon you've got one half of the theme. You need both halves to find the answer....
