Semantle 14

For anyone who still has the will to go on!

A different spelling? Fuck me I'm confused

It isn't the answer. 999 is the plural and the word is the singular.

I solved Semantle #138 in 269 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.94. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #47. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 36.35 (853/1000). semantle.com/

(I've never seen the 999 spelling in British English)

It's not plural @ApolloandDaphne

Are you looking at yesterday's by any chance?

God, yes I am looking at yesterdays words! What an idiot. I will slink away and not come back until I can be trusted with the word list. Sorry for all the confusion.

Ha I did the exact same, see my earlier post, that's how I figured out what you were on about! We can be idiots together (or just blame our devices)

Seeing the solution, I managed to avoid any words related to the main theme! If you get on the right track, I think some will find this not too difficult today.

I was lucky with my early guesses, which were based on one of my usual starting words being higher than the others!

I had a lot of high greens that don't seem that connected to the word, in the end I was actually surprised that was the word. The list is full of things I know little of.

I was thrown by having very little knowledge of the area all my greens were in. I had 998 for quite a while totally unable to think what else it might be. Finally got it but wonder if a different path would have worked better for me as I wouldn’t have thought I’d never know the answer!

@MrsLargeEmbodied the hints are weird, but from your other numbers, think not of that kind of thing but the ones that assist them.
