I had 12 and 19 and was getting nowhere so I typed in something they said on tv and got it in one more guess after that

I solved Semantle #156 in 37 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.53. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 44.47 (948/1000). semantle.com/

@LoudParrot I like that!

Well that was a surprise! Brings my average down a bit as well.

I only had 3 greens but they were taking me in a very different direction - had a hint which took me by surprise (and made me realise I was going down the wrong track!) but it was enough for me to guess the secret word in my next go.

Was very stuck and used 1 hint which rapidly lead me to the answer

Hmmm, any clues from 999? I’ve used everything I can think of as alternatives?

Got it! There was one related word I hadn’t tried!

My starter words are so useful lately!?

I am back in 999 hell!

I'd say TARGET is not quite 999.

at last my average is coming down! best not speak too soon though

Thank you! I got 999 on guess 22. So many synonyms!

Having just looked at the word list, I am convinced by the curse of 999. Any other top ten and I’d have got it far quicker!
