I've tried a huge number of variations around 728 and still can't get it.

InMySpareTime · 19/06/2022 11:28

@ApolloandDaphne try the other end.

I solved Semantle #141 in 104 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.25. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 38.07 (982/1000). semantle.com/

There was one I hadn't tried!

I’ve been playing semantle for a few months, never found this board before, but tracked you all down to say…. Today’s semantle is bizarre!!!! I got clues for every answer from 990 upwards and still had to give up! None of the words are related to each other at all!!

which is ironic

poppym12 · 19/06/2022 11:50

The words didn't seem to flow very well today.

I solved Semantle #141 in 33 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.52. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 11.86. semantle.com/

Well you can’t say I'm a quitter 😆

I solved Semantle #141 in 697 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.57. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #21. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.60. semantle.com/

Lotsofpots · 19/06/2022 14:07

Well I had a very different experience from the rest of you (got 728 early) but looking at the word list, I could have been at this for a looooong time. What an entirely random list!

I solved Semantle #141 in 28 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.83. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #22. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 20.54. semantle.com/

Lotsofpots · 19/06/2022 14:07

@ThatsRoughBuddy wow, commitment!

YellowLemonshade · 19/06/2022 14:09

Another giver upper today!
Would never have got it

EnterACloud · 19/06/2022 14:21

Was just beginning to think I was stuck when I saw the comment about 728 being useful and my second next guess was the answer, so thanks for that.

I solved Semantle #141 in 38 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.80. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.88. semantle.com/

JaneJeffer · 19/06/2022 14:25

I thought that was a clue @coviduality but I guess not Grin

If only I had 728 instead of 278. Am I flogging a dead horse?

@JaneJeffer those will get you to 728 eventually. Think about how you feel about things you 278. Then clue from 728.

BIWI · 19/06/2022 14:37

I solved Semantle #141 in 105 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.59. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #35. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.97 (741/1000). semantle.com/

Annoyed because I thought I'd already played the secret word! Had 3 unhelpful hints, and only got there because of a clue from reddit.

BIWI · 19/06/2022 14:47

@JaneJeffer the secret word is less positive than your two top greens. It's a more mundane word.

JaneJeffer · 19/06/2022 14:53

I solved Semantle #141 in 148 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.40. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #54. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 11.86. https://semantle.com/
Thanks @InMySpareTime got there eventually after trying to add things to the wrong end of the word and realised @coviduality did give a clue after all Grin

@BIWI yes I was being far too enthusiastic Grin

Today I needed to get the car washed, do the food shopping and go and buy some other bits. I was putting them off but decided to get them done then I can relax this afternoon. I've just made a cup of tea and sat on the sofa with the intention of wasting an hour doing Semantle. Found it in 6 today, possibly my best score and now I feel cheated :)

I solved Semantle #141 in 6 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.18. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.88. semantle.com/

JaneJeffer · 19/06/2022 15:49

well done I guess @thesnailandthewhale Grin

Your username is so apt today! Well done for sticking at it. 🏅

coviduality · 19/06/2022 15:57

😁😁😁

AppleKatie · 19/06/2022 16:55

Today was my first ever give up.
and even now I don’t get it! I’ve been playing for months but todays doesn’t make any sense at all to me. I’m starting to doubt words mean what I think they do 😂

ThePurpleGirl · 19/06/2022 18:32

I solved Semantle #141 in 43 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.47. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #24. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 3.86. semantle.com/

I definitely got lucky today. I looked at the nearest words after I'd got it, and they make no sense at all! I'm glad I got there from a much lower green.

AuntieStella · 19/06/2022 18:53

I solved Semantle #141 in 52 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.18. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 18.01. semantle.com/

That was weird. I don't think I'd have got it without the discussion here of 728. Word list odd and hints from the site useless

Doubleraspberry · 19/06/2022 22:38

Totally stuck and no 728 to work from. My highest is 975. Argh.

BIWI · 19/06/2022 22:49

@Doubleraspberry what other greens do you have?
