Well done @PuttingDownRoots it was hard!

That's odd- given the target word there should be two routes to it as it has two meanings but there is only one. Still : got lucky about halfway with a high green.

I solved Semantle #234 in 48 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.55. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #21. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 33.46 (608/1000). semantle.com/

Kinda homed in on it with loads of the higher 900 before I hit it.

I solved Semantle #234 in 57 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.48. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 44.82 (964/1000). semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #234 in 55 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.48. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.70 (851/1000). semantle.com/

A good wander round high greens here too!

I solved Semantle #234 in 41 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.55. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #19. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 45.04 (968/1000). semantle.com/

My highest was 910 for ages and I just couldn't move forward from that. I had to get a hint in the end which set me off in the right direction again.

I solved Semantle #234 in 59 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.13. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 35.36 (743/1000). semantle.com/

I also spent a lot of time in the high greens

My best for aaaaages!

So much easier than yesterday for me

Utterly bizarre. Had a typo for one of my common starter words which was my highest cold so went to check what it meant, as I wasn’t sure. Realised where I’d heard it before (very specific thing) and had a random word association, which turned out to be the target word. First green.

Reasonably logical for me today.

Nice and quick today.

I think this is my second PB!

Took me ages

Having looked at the list, I'm predicting no one will get clue 999 as it's not a word. ( in this context)

I solved Semantle #236 in 23 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.66. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 61.08 (997/1000). semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #236 in 32 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.08. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.80. semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #236 in 67 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 18.83. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 56.59 (992/1000). semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #236 in 56 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.77. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #9. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 44.44. semantle.com/

I had 994 on guess 16 but went down a rabbit hole of synonyms for 994.

@LadyOfTheCanyon 999 annoys me so much when I see it!

I solved Semantle #236 in 68 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.19. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #31. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 43.57 (922/1000). semantle.com/

I solved Semantle #236 in 69 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.08. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #25. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 49.62 (971/1000). semantle.com/

I got fixated on 920 and took awhile to go in the right direction.

Stuck on 998 (and 995, 984, 991, 988, 986 and 980...) any tips please?

I solved Semantle #236 in 29 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.10. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #21. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 12.79. semantle.com/

I haven’t looked at the word list but can guess what 999 is!

@PuttingDownRoots it’s not a synonym of 998. I’m trying to think of a clue that wouldn’t say too much if someone saw it by accident! It’s what you associate 998 with!
