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!

Had no clue where I was going with that one

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 solved Semantle #220 in 107 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.25. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #30. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 53.57 (996/1000). 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!

i am up to 998 and stuck

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

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!

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

@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/

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.

I solved Semantle #220 in 76 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -4.81. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 27.68 (706/1000). semantle.com/

That confused me for a long time!

Took a very odd route!

That was difficult for me today

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.

I solved Semantle #221 in 61 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.92. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 41.92 (994/1000). semantle.com/

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

I solved Semantle #221 in 173 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.68. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #21. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 13.00. semantle.com/

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

Back on form today!

First green on guess one! Downhill from there!

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.
