Semantle 14

[JaneJeffer]

For anyone who still has the will to go on!

Happy with that!

I solved Semantle #122 in 19 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -2.23. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 33.99 (857/1000). semantle.com/

Am I on the right lines because I can't see where to go from here and you all seem to have done it quickly?

857... very useful. Or an obstacle...

I solved Semantle #122 in 71 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.07. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #22. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 20.64. semantle.com/

Excellent clue!

Aw! Look at us all going for 777!

I solved Semantle #122 in 76 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.45. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 18.33. semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #122 in 54 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.25. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 1.65. semantle.com/

despite not having 857 that clue suddenly made sense of the answers I did have! Thanks

Not having done this for a week because it was annoying me I’m back in there with my best ever!
I solved Semantle #122 in 16 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.87. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 28.35 (556/1000). semantle.com/

Good going @Neu! That will bring your average right down!

Probably should have got that sooner as I had 777 and 957 quite a while ago. Obviously just not high in my thought processes.

I solved Semantle #122 in 61 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -2.23. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #21. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 0.87. semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #122 in 17 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.26. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 14.99. semantle.com/

Another 777er! And then to 957 although I then spent six guesses guessing around the subject.

Haha that kind of came out of nowhere.

Or rather it came from following a high ‘tepid’ word rather than any of my greens so much.

I solved Semantle #122 in 30 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.81. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 44.24 (982/1000). semantle.com/

Like you, @ErrolTheDragon , my thought processes are different clearly! :-)

Finally a good day that will help my average :)

I solved Semantle #122 in 20 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.29. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.49. semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #122 in 90 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.56. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #56. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 34.88 (879/1000). semantle.com/

It was the combination of 777 and 610 that helped me to get there!

Back to being rubbish today. Took a hint and I think it's taking the piss.

What's your highest green @JaneJeffer?

@JaneJeffer I'm so often disappointed by the hints. They are either completely obscure, or totally unrelated 🤔

I spent ages on an unhelpful tangent.

I solved Semantle #122 in 84 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.40. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #42. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 49.38 (993/1000). semantle.com/

But to be fair my one and only hint today was useful 🙃

I've got 273 and the hint 454 and all I can think of is Agatha Christie! Tried all the 273 things I could think of.

My best one yet!

I solved Semantle #122 in 13 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 31.76 (777/1000). My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.60. semantle.com/

@JaneJeffer don't think what you might have for 273, but more why you might go to 273.

That might put you on a better track?

That got me to 887 @MrsElm but my brain is not cooperating today

When you're enjoying 887 elsewhere ...
