I solved Semantle #139 in 101 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #43. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.70. semantle.com/

I was away down the wrong path until
I took a hint then I got it quickly.

Quicker than expected. I can see that there could be two routes to this.

I was definitely not on the main route - definitely one of those where there can be different meanings of the word but the nearest words are around only one definition.

This was the third track IYSWIM - first two trains of thought fizzled out. And I'm not completely sure that they way I got there was the way that I would most associate with (target word)
