Got stuck on high colds. Never xmantle while hungry, the word is never going to be sausages! That's not a spoiler as it was far colder than I'd ever have sausages.

I was out all day today, so didn't have time, until now, to do any of the quizzes. DH told me what the Cemantle answer was - on the basis that I wasn't going to do any of them. Except he told me the answer to Semantle. So my guessing it in 13 is totally fake Grin

But it will bring my average down nicely

JaneJeffer · 14/08/2022 22:54

Lucky you @BIWI if I see another word ending in ness tonight I will scream!

BIWI · 14/08/2022 22:57

Ah yes. Having looked at the word list, I don't blame you!

Made the fatal error of changing my starter word and then finding it would have got me 823 on my first guess!

I solved Semantle #198 in 72 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.37. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 6.97. semantle.com/

I was surprised at the answer from where I was - more of a random guess than on the theme.

Double raspberry I had to Google 823. I hadn't heard that before.

826 I should have said! I have no idea what 823 means. :-)
