I solved Semantle #220 in 103 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.60. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #20. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 26.97. semantle.com/

That was not really the route I would have thought I’d take to get to that target word!

InMySpareTime · 06/09/2022 07:12

Had no clue where I was going with that one Confused

I solved Semantle #220 in 195 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.43. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #26. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.00 (968/1000). semantle.com/

I certainly wasn't expecting that to be the answer. I got to 994 with a whole page of greens and ran out of ideas so took a hint and got it from there - I don't think I'd have made that connection from my word list!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 06/09/2022 07:47

i am up to 998 and stuck

Doubleraspberry · 06/09/2022 07:52

It's not a synonym or an antonym, if that helps?

MrsLargeEmbodied · 06/09/2022 08:11

i had to take another hint!
thanks anyway

I have 994, 991, 988, 986, 983& 981(plus lots lower) and I'm making up words now!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 06/09/2022 08:58

@PuttingDownRoots
its half a word, that you havent quoted so far.

InMySpareTime · 06/09/2022 09:04

@PuttingDownRoots a 991 is on that Target of the group

Urgh. I've been thinking of that word all morning but not seeing it as a word, if that makes sense!

I solved Semantle #220 in 185 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.60. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #61. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 52.51 (995/1000). semantle.com/

Doubleraspberry · 06/09/2022 09:10

I was very thrown that the opposite of 998 generated the ???s - it's a perfect valid word. That threw me for a bit too.

ApolloandDaphne · 06/09/2022 10:50

That confused me for a long time!

Took a very odd route!

yes same here!

Couldn't take any more

I mean 990, really?

Best day for ages! 999 was my first green on guess 15 - not a usual starter word, just a random leap from a tepid - but then it took a few more guesses to get to 1000 as I had nothing else to go on.

InMySpareTime · 07/09/2022 06:59

My hot words had very little to do with each other or with the target. Not actually sure how I got this one!

Much better from the last few days. It was a reasonably logical path for me today.

Took me far too long. I had a hint, which was 979, and then thought I'd used the secret word. But I had also guessed 614, and surprised that didn't give me a higher score.
