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?

@ErrolTheDragon that's the theme I was on before I took my first hint.. it is sort of related in a roundabout way but I would never have got the different direction if I hadn't taken the hint

ErrolTheDragon · 22/05/2022 09:53

Intriguing!

I solved Semantle #113 in 160 guesses with 1 hint. My first guess had a similarity of 8.99. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #27. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.50. semantle.com/

Bizarre!

Etinoxaurus · 22/05/2022 09:58

@ErrolTheDragon
A 933 is good at this, in popular culture at least.

DoorLion · 22/05/2022 09:58

Well that was ridiculous. I’ve guessed this secret word before when it hasn’t been correct, but would never have got it this time without the last hint, 994. Still, better than yesterday when I gave up after both my hints being chemistry/ medical related words that I had to look up.

I solved Semantle #113 in 153 guesses with 3 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 2.35. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #54. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 55.18 (994/1000). semantle.com/

ErrolTheDragon · 22/05/2022 10:06

Ah...thanks.
944 and home. Yes, there's a word which only got a score of 21.31 which is highly relevant so that's probably why it was hard to get.

I solved Semantle #113 in 179 guesses. 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 37.07 (944/1000). semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #113 in 59 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 7.23. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 56.64 (996/1000). semantle.com/

Not too bad today. I found the theme quite early but needed a couple of hints to narrow it down.

SouperNoodle · 22/05/2022 10:49

I solved Semantle #113 in 69 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 2.79. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 35.03. semantle.com/

It was tough today as I got stuck on the wrong tangent so needed a couple of hints.

Can I have a hint please.

@Idroppedthescrewinthetuna if you're 413 but not good at 778, what might you choose to play?

I'm not getting it. Came on to look for clues but don't understand those either.

Alwaystired99 · 22/05/2022 12:46

Hmmmm. A hint got me 898 which I had to Google and then I was on a wild goose chase until I read @InMySpareTime 's clue which got me straight there! Haven't quite given up on this silly game yet.

Decided to try something randomHmmI'm not the 579 I thought I was at guess 4.

BIWI · 22/05/2022 13:48

Turned out that I'm not a 579 either @JaneJeffer

Highest guess was 489, and decided to try a sideways move, which worked!

Doubleraspberry · 22/05/2022 14:19

My greens were not helpful, and didn’t relate to each other, so I came looking for a clue to spare myself 200 guesses of pain. I did manage it but am now looking at the 1000 words with a fair level of boggle.
