Yay!

ThePontiacBandit · 22/05/2022 22:54

Thanks BIWI I can go to sleep now 😂

I really over thought this one and should have got it a lot sooner! Even at 39 guesses!

I solved Semantle #114 in 39 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.65. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.41 (773/1000). semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #114 in 42 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 31.05 (824/1000). My penultimate guess had a similarity of 20.63. semantle.com/

A highish green on guess 1! Which was no help actually. 😆 Still, did well for me.

I solved Semantle #114 in 49 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.46. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 6.03. semantle.com/

Much better than previous days!

I solved Semantle #114 in 57. My first guess had a similarity of 9.50. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 55.99 (997/1000). semantle.com/

That was quite straightforward!

I solved Semantle #114 in 21 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.50. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 51.92 (992/1000). semantle.com/

A high green on my second guess, then wasted a few because I was only thinking about one of its meanings. But then quite logical.

Lotsofpots · 23/05/2022 06:38

I solved Semantle #114 in 32 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.77. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 51.92 (992/1000). semantle.com/

335 on guess 3 took me down a dead end for a while, but once I was on track it was nice and logical.

ApolloandDaphne · 23/05/2022 07:26

I have one green and it has so many meanings I can't get a grasp on the theme at all.

InMySpareTime · 23/05/2022 07:29

Keep going @ApolloandDaphne if I can do it (at 3am after 4 hours' sleep) then anyone can.

A random inspiration for a sideways leap gave me 992 from my lower greens which I had been playing with the whole time.

Etinoxaurus · 23/05/2022 07:53

Woohoo!!

Thats brought my average nicely down and no hints 🥰
Yesterday’s was strange- board didn’t score 💁🏻‍♀️

InMySpareTime · 23/05/2022 07:54

@Etinoxaurus neither did king or queen.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 23/05/2022 07:57

I got extremely lucky yesterday. I had tutor and game, but coach was lower... so chess was a stab in the dark.

ApolloandDaphne · 23/05/2022 08:12

So far today I have only got 454 and I've had many guesses. Is this a useful word at all or do I need to ignore it?

poppym12 · 23/05/2022 08:17

I solved Semantle #114 in 13 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.41. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 26.43 (601/1000). semantle.com/

That was an easy one today.

I'm not finding it easy at all.

InMySpareTime · 23/05/2022 08:19

@ApolloandDaphne 1000s make 454s

Its a red herring. Looking at the list there's lots of them...

But the answer itself is simple.

The only connection I can see is that a 454 may be used by a Target.
