That was hideous. A war of attrition. I have never had so many tepid answers. I took four different routes along the way. None useful until finally I got something in the 980s. I despair.

1 hint today, which was actually helpful.

How the fuck do you all get it so quickly?

This was agony!

I never get hints. Is that why I’m so rubbish? Or am I just stupid? 😭😆

Not remotely enjoyable today!!

A good one 👍

I gave up with this one. I'm finding Semantle more and more frustrating these days. The list of words bears no correlation to the target word at all -you have a word like 793 higher than 698. The words never seem like a progression until you get to the mid 900s.

Well that was unexpected. Bagged myself a new record!

I solved Semantle #128 in 5 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.28. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 42.03 (994/1000). semantle.com/

Agree. Yesterday I had read, write and listen and ended up using a couple of hints to get me to the target word.

I solved Semantle #128 in 97 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.76. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 47.78 (998/1000). semantle.com/

That was unnecessarily complicated for what the word turned out to be! I had a lot of greens (27 of them) but they represented one very specific meaning of a word that has several more mundane meanings.

@MrsLargeEmbodied how on earth did you guess 981?

981 is always within reach of a ?

@MrsLargeEmbodied you need a decent 955 to fill a 958 ?
