Took me 2 hints to get there - but still below my average, which I'm pleased about.

I solved Semantle #158 in 78 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.21. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 55.13 (997/1000). semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #158 in 145 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.11. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 52.86 (995/1000). semantle.com/

I also got 968 early and spent the next 150 guesses trying synonyms. Finally got there - pleased that I didn't use hints though.

I solved Semantle #158 in 259 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.54. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 49.74 (993/1000). semantle.com/

I used two hints, the first was pretty useless (and kept me on a track that would never have reached the target). The second more or less gave it away

I can't believe that took me so long. So many greens!

I was genuinely surprised that was the word, I was on a totally different track to the obvious one.
