thank you, @InMySpareTime
981 was a Hint

I solved Semantle #128 in 34 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.90. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #25. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 42.03 (994/1000). semantle.com/

That was unexpected!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 06/06/2022 08:25

surprising

I solved Semantle #128 in 117 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.42. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of -1.89. semantle.com/

Another one where the words are based on the target word being used in a very specific way, rather than the more general way it's usually used (if that makes sense!) Still, glad I didn't use any hints today.

I solved Semantle #128 in 50 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.02. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #19. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 80.19 (999/1000). semantle.com/

Pleased with that, I start using hints and synonyms after 50 if I have no greens so that feels like a win!

I’m ok generally with way the target relate to guesses and hits. Except for ‘ours’, that was ridiculous!

ErrolTheDragon · 06/06/2022 09:13

The two strands of relationships in the words I guessed today made sense

I solved Semantle #128 in 107 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 26.29 (731/1000). semantle.com/

Well that was a complete fluke 😂😂😂

zoop1 · 06/06/2022 11:06

I resorted to hints and got 748 (why???) and then 811, both of which I had to google and the first of which stumped relatedwords. A fair few Americanisms in the Eventually got there via 615, in a total of 128 guesses.

JaneJeffer · 06/06/2022 11:17

I've had 997 for ages and cannot make the leap. I am assuming I need a generic word that encompasses the many other greens(oranges actually) that I have as there seems to be no clear theme?

ApolloandDaphne · 06/06/2022 11:49

Ignore me. I thought I was doing Semantle but it is actually Cemantle I am doing!

I think that's my fastest ever - one of my starter words came up in the 800s!

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

My 9 year old DD got it in 29 - thanks @InMySpareTime for the clue as that saved my dignity sightly as I think otherwise I'd have been floundering around for ages 😆
