@Willmafrockfit it's a nebulous one today.
Any pointers from practically the entire top ten and almost 500 guesses 😭?

i had to go to reddit
a clue was a popular word in song lyrics.
and it is two words joined together imo

@InMySpareTime
your 968 is a good example

Errr, well that was odd.
Thanks.
I'd never use that as one word. I had many, so many 968 type words but hadn't tried that one because it should be two words!

I solved Semantle #296 in 506 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.19. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 36.67. semantle.com/

Any hints from these please?

@ThePurpleGirl those higher words could all be followed by the target in a song if preceded by a negative. It's a cut'n'shut of two words.

I solved Semantle #296 in 154 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 17.81. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #23. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 47.92 (960/1000). semantle.com/

Didn't really like that

Thank you @InMySpareTime I would never have got it without that! That's definitely two words.

I solved Semantle #296 in 154 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 20.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #23. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 13.86. semantle.com/

Thanks from me for the hints as I would also not have guessed this. It is a word but not one that I would have got for a very long time, and I do tend to use it as two.
